They must have gotten jock itch on the regular.
And they didn't even have tough-actin' Tinactin to help them out. I've never had jock itch but I have had athlete's foot from walking around the Jewish Community Center changing room without flip-flops, and if I hadn't had my little tube of clotrimazole I would have died.
