Learn something new everyday. What was the purpose of carrying it across the front? Seems like it would get in the way of running and such. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harry Marinakis Report post Posted July 10, 2016 Dunno why they carried it in front, that's just what they did. I assume it's something to do with the male anatomy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
