Heard this on Triple J this afternoon, made me look like an idiot laughing to myself on a bus.

So you can drink alcohol in the street in the middle of the day, but you can't itch your junk?

What a fucking backwards country.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
I went for a walk and scratched my genitals a couple times, I'm not in jail yet.
This is one of those useless laws that will never find an actual application, unless some sicko sue you claiming you "offended" him/her scratching your balls and can prove it.
p.s. drinking alcohol in the streets/squares rules, btw.

although you cannot see it, I'm totally scratching my genitals RIGHT THIS VERY SECOND.

this is where I used to go out drinking when I was younger:

nice,huh?

an Italian man holding his package is equivalent to a British man touching wood hehe
200 euro fine for readjusting yourself!

is it an anti-genital scratching establishment too?

well, i have seen some guys with their hands on their pockets jerking off to girls passing by.

I think we should organize a protest.

let's make a statement by all touching our genitals at the same time.

ok....start.....NOW.

Yeah, when I was in Florence with my family this summer I bought a huge bottle of beer in the street and proceeded to drink it. A relative of mine said "dude, you can't drink that in the street, it's gotta be against the law." And I said "well I bought it on the street, and nobody's stopping me."

:D

ok. i',m doingf it. are you? sry 1 hanf typoing.

italy and britain are weird
here in texas, america, we let our women hold our junk, two-fist it even, and scratch our itches.

very nice!
is that an outdoor public urinal there? :P

You do that in public while drinking from a bottle of booze hidden in a paper bag?

ha ha almost! :D
Actually there's a public restroom underground on the other side of the square (sounds cool, but it's not that cool...also becuz it closes waaaay before bars close, so you eventually need to find other places to go for a piss...those being either restrooms in one of the many bars in the area, or a semi-hidden spot behind a wall/pillar or something)

Apparently, though, we can now scratch other men's genitals, so that will pan out fine for some. I agree with nicfit that there's nothing better than getting a bottle, go to the park, vandalise your surroundings and then fuck off home. All without having to hide it in a takeway brown bag.

I'm proud to be an American, where at least I can be free to scratch my balls or adjust the fly of my boxers where, when, and with whom I feel like it.

(With apologies to Kenny Rodgers or whoever the fuck sings that song of patriotism.)

I sometimes have this problem with boxer shorts where my junk starts to slip through the fly as I'm walking down the street. I have to adjust. It's totally necessary, and I'm not doing it to be obscene. I'm doing it out of a sense of self-preservation. Zippers are brutal.

I hope that proud Americans wash their hands after they fiddle with their thingy. That's all.
