A "Contoured Ulterior Pouch" (CUP). The
cup W hides and augments a man's scrotum, but has
an opening O leaving his penis P free. "From
time immemorial," says the inventor,
"an integral element of the male psyche has
been his awareness of the presence or absence of
pronounced manly form in his loins. What man not
generously blessed by nature, would not wish for
the carefree confidence of his more robustly
equipped fellows who suffer no modesty when their
manly form naturally draws envious glances."

A car registration plate which indicates the sex of the driver.
It has different background colours on either side, one colour for men
and one for women. Quick-release clips make it easily reversible.
The inventor says that since the plate makes the driver's sex
immediately apparent, other road users will change the way they behave.
They will become more polite, and predict better the behaviour of other drivers.
The frequency and severity of traffic accidents will be reduced.
