The Weenie and the Zipper – The Story of Thousands Who Introduced the Two

Remember that movie There's Something About Mary? The best part, probably the hair gel, but the second best part? Defiantly the pork and beans incident. It seems as though that little skit that we found so funny in the movies is a real thing that probably isn't very funny at all. A new study just released shows the harsh reality of the "zip-related genital injury."

An estimated 17,616 men went to the emergency room for "trouser zip injuries to the genitals" between 2002 and 2010, according to an article published this week in the Journal of the British Association of Urological Surgeons. Almost all of them had their man parts stuck in their zippers, the paper found.

So, what are your options to prevent such a tragedy?

Button-fly jeans... But not only will people look at you funny, it will take you forever and an eternity to "button-up" after a trip to the bathroom. You could just quit pissing, but that wouldn't be good for your health. Or you can slow down, safely tuck that thing away and be careful not to zip it up every time you take a piss, and be thankful for the two extra seconds you spent.

I just want to know what happens when you do zip it... First off, how do they get it unzipped? Second, do you stitch that thing? And finally, does it ever work right again?

Think about all these possible scenarios and I promise you, like me, you will think a little harder about safety when zipping!
