The demise of the codpiece in the late-middle ages, marked the death-nell for male fashion.
I propose the following solution - resurrect the codpiece, updating it for modern living. Enter, the Swiss-Army codpiece... This device would provide multiple-functionality and surgical precision of the Swiss,
as well as being ultimate fashion accessory.
The final product would likely be teflon-coated, telescopic and hypoallergenic. However, with a universal attachment socket (i.e. plug and play) the range of possible accessories appear endless...
Cup-holder, Tyre-pressure gauge, A discrete GPS Aerial, USB Hub, Coin dispenser
even personalised options...
Cigar cutter (e.g. Clinton), Toothpick (e.g. Monica),
---
The sports-utility version would doubltless, be bigger, and offer additional shock absorbing qualities...

This could be an after market accessory

I am not sure that this is sufficiently different to the other codpiece articles - consider this half-baked... |

Codpieces have been used a lot in UK mediaeval life recreation circles. Each year they open a particular manor house and people re-renacts the various functions, role-playing the status quo of the house for visiting schoolchildren. Obviously the codpiece is both a fashion statement and makes a claim that can be (ahem) tested by suspicious female cast members. |

As far as extra devices go something to hold public transport tickets when you run out of hands would be useful. |

I'm not at all sure I'm comfortable with "surgical precision" appearing in the same thought as "codpiece." |
|
| |
I'm not comfortable with "Swiss" appearing in the same sentence as "ultimate fashion accessory". |
|

..and I definitely don't want to consider the possible consequences of the cigar-cutter option. |

I say 'yes' because it's silly and made me laugh! |
