Well,
I'm about to break a man rule and tell you something we usually don't discuss in mixed company....
We scratch/adjust ourselves when we don't think anyone is looking.
Its not like its a great and grand secret, but its something we really don't talk about. I mean really what is there to say. No real technique is involved or at least any that I know of..but then again I'm nothing more than a great big brute(galute if your from the maritimes)
Its just when its in an uncomfortable position something has to be done about it.
Now what brought this up you ask.....well let me tell you.
Wednesday night it was around 10:00ish at night, it was just the guys hanging out working and talking and contemplating phoning in some strippers, pizza, and beer. Me,Darren,Lee,Logan, and Dan were having a nice conversation when out of the blue in mid sentence I notice Dan reach down to his groin area and bam....pinch, adjust, and scootch. It only took a fraction of a second to complete the necessary procedure, and in the second after it happened I thought to myself "well I'm glad Dan feels comfortable enough to adjust himself in front of me".
When I mentioned this Dan...he denied it completely. Now in all honesty I wasn't looking at Dan's groin AT THAT PARTICULAR MOMENT, and just saw what I saw from the corner of my eye when I was looking at him when he was talking. He could've been just adjusting his shirt...while he was sitting down in mid sentence. but my version is much more funnier in my humble opinion.
Its the next day..I decide to make some small talk with Merrin. I'm telling her how ever since Dan's girlfriend died her hair brown all these guys have been flirting with her. Dan walks down the aisle and realizes we're talking about him and before I can say another word vehemently denies ever scratching himself in front of everyone even going so far as to pantomine his shirt adjusting technique. As he's doing this all I'm doing is looking at him with a "you don't want to do this" look on my face as I shake my head slowly side to side as if saying no. He finished his explanation of what he was doing and sat down...at which point Darren informed Dan we were discussing his girlfriend. He lowered his head and shook it in disbelief at what he had done. You see...until that moment in time nobody had known what had happened and I had no intention of bringing it up...... until that moment at least.
