I have a funny story about the little pocket. One day we were at a family BBQ, my younger brother who was around six went up to my mum and asked what the small pocket was for. She said go ask Poppa, big mistake. My Poppa said it is to put condoms in, in which my brother asked what a condom is for and my Poppa replied that it is to put your w***y in. My brother walked away looking puzzled until about 10 mins late he asks “But how do you get your w***y in there”. He thought he had to put his w***y in the actual pocket.

How many of us just tested this fact?
