Trouser bib

Rapid-deployment sporran

Ever found after washing your hands at a groin-level basin to find that the over-enthusiastic tap has launched water at your light-coloured leg-wear, and the world now thinks you've had an embarrassing trouser incident? *

The Trouser Bib comes in a variety of designs, two of which are described here. The first takes the form of a roller-blind mechanism, worn as a belt. A swift tug unravels the bib, to cover the vulnerable area. A second tug retracts the bib.

The second is a modified sporran, with a radial leaf-shutter-like mechanism. Here, a simple twist deploys the crotch umbrella. A second twist retracts.

Groinal moistness is avoided, and hilarity does not ensue.

* I have.

       Apart from the hilarity of wearing a sporran with trousers, of course.   

       If you're worried, splash some water on your hip as camoflouge.

       Needs more pyrotechnics. "Thermite-based Instantaneous Trouser Drier".

       We think you should rephrase that as "But that's a risk I'm willing for you to take on my behalf."

       Learn not to urinate upon your hands?

       Won't help if, say, you took a dump, wiped, and _oops_-- >finger-through-the-paper.< You wash your hands in the same position, don't you, for #1 or #2?   

       Bun, for the umbrella alone...and for the sporran.

       Well, then, we'd best get on with it.

       //Needs more pyrotechnics.// A stylish gent, strolling along the boulevard while idly deploying and retracting the crotch umbrella, in the manner of Maurice Chevalier twiddling a cane, will be *quite* enough thank you kindly.

       //It also happens while washing dishes//
I had to ask Mrs AWOL to explain what that was.
