The Adjustment Bureau
A self definition of ones manhood can be found in the art of a man grabbing at himself. The moves come in the form of adjusting, pulling or a simple stroke just to make sure the package is stll there. Singers these days have a need to pull when they sing. Maybe its gives them confidance on stage or could it be, once again, a simple reflection to the audience of their manhood ?
The adjustment move done by most men is done quickly and with the least advertisement as possible. Hopefully with the intent of acting out an action without causing a reaction within the general public.
Yet in some cultures, like those in Italy, adjusting of the package is a way of life. It can denote various meanings. Italians will grab on to their package at certain times or moments to signify good luck, other times, its a simple macho move or again, its all about putting things in their right place.
Truth of the matter is that a judge in Italy was in such a uproar about men constantly grabbing at themselves continuously in public, that a law was implemented, where a police officer had the right to issue a ticket to those he may have spotted doing the move.
So to adjust or not to adjust has always been a question in a man's mind. At the very least though, when no one is looking..
