How do you tell a guy that he needs a new

…speedo. We’ve got a guy in our swim group who wears this ancient swim suit that must be circia 1975 or so. It must have been one of the original speedos since it’s soooo old. This suit is sooo bad that it has zero support in the front, a baggy rear with a hole in it and is so faded that it’s near transparent when wet. It’s almost a Richard Hatch for the little it leaves to the imagination. Even my wife is shaking her head in disgust, and this sort of thing doesn’t normally bother her.

We had a guy in the bike group that “his favorite” bike shorts were so old they had a big hole in the ass. We teased the heck out of him and he still didn’t get it. Finally we took up a collection and bought him a new set of shorts that were becoming to his $4000. road bike.

I’ll think we will have to do the same with the swimmer. Twenty bucks for a new speedo is a good investment for his modesty.

It’s like this:

“Dude, nice fruitbox. Time for some new swim togs…”

Haha, i used to where a size 22 paper suit back when less was more in the speedo department. I refused to wear a bigger suit, no regard for modesty. If you spot the rule in the USAS (formaly USS) officials book regarding suit size (atleast in florida) i helped a great deal in contributing to its orgin.

Just tell the the man, he knows what’s up (or apparently down in this situation)

Is a “Wedgie” too harsh?

If they rip, they rip.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

ask him if that is his wanker or is he saving a hotdog for later in his shorts
