The One Thing We all Like to Mock..The Good ol' Jock

Around Canadian Tire, you take a walk. You ask Brock, the hard working employee if they carry a jock. Brock will talk the talk, and walk the walk, to take you to the aisle.... of jock. "They're on sale" he says, with extraordinary glee, "We carry the jocks in aisle three." I reply, "Thank you Brock you kind young man, I will go grab a jock as fast as I can."

As I grab the jock, I ponder and ponder, what would it be like to be down yonder?

What exactly would it be like? This five dollar, cheap item is only used for one purpose, and that purpose is to protect every man from their worst nightmare..
The jock is used to take the hit for us, in most cases, it takes more hits than Michael Phelps. Have it be a puck, a baseball, or simply using it as protection when walking to school, the jock is still serving the same purpose in the same place. What exactly do we do for the jock? We use it like Jessica uses Romo, and get it more sweaty than gatorade commercials. Why can't all men just take it like a "man"? Athletes in the past were never protected with the use of a jock, why do we get the luxury of having them now? Well... consider ourselves lucky, this cheap, oddly shaped piece of plastic is saving lives and in reality, helping create new lives, and what does it ask in return?
