Look on the bright side, it'll make spotting dickheads in a crowd easier.

Gilbert & Sullivan are reputed to have written an obscene opera. One of its characters was Scrotum - a wrinkled old retainer.

Actually once in production the bag will seemingly retail for $120 which is much more affordable!
I'm not sure if I'd have the balls to wear one in public though! ;)

I don't know - the original is used for carrying the most important things a man has around in - using one to carry other, less important, things in seems strangely logical.
But not at a grand a time!

What really offends me is that the Mirror regards this as offensive, on the basis that it's modelled on a part of the body possessed by close on half the world's population.

I agree, not remotely offensive. Actually I think it's an amusing answer to the man bag dilemma.

Huge Grin!

Considering some of the things which, over the years, the Morror has found acceptable this is, in a way, actually logical from the Mirror's point of view.

Piers Morgan.
Ok, fair point.

That's from Sir Henry at Rawlinson End by Vivian Stanshall is it not. Actually he was Old Scrotum the Wrinkled Retainer. Also included the contract house cleaners and "resting theatrical artistes," Teddy Tidy and Nigel Nice (aka Nice and Tidy).

I first found it in Obscenity and the Law (1956) by Norman St John Stevas. I suspect Vivian Stanshall "borrowed" it - or he may have independently invented the same joke. I also recall that G&S also had the Brothers Bollox - a pair of hangers-on.

Probably borrowed it, I imagine.

In the interests of academic probity, a trawl has found this:
According to legend, Gilbert and Sullivan wrote an obscene work under the name The Sod's Opera, with characters including Count Tostoff (a ruined Pole), the Brothers Bollox (a pair of hangers-on), and Scrotum (a wrinkled old retainer) - and, by way of corroborative detail, it is said that, for many years, a copy was kept in the guardroom at St James's Palace - but there is no authoritative record of this remarkable creation.
