One Hand in My Pocket

Remember that Alanis Morissette song, "I got one hand in my pocket"? Well, sometimes that’s not such a good thing. Because if one of your hands is always occupied fighting embarrassing discomforts, you might need a doctor to rid you of a sexually transmitted infection (STI). And that is the story of our protagonist. No matter how hard he tries, he can't hide the fact that his crotch is on fire. He misses the bus, can't get a decent picture clicked, people even refuse to shake his hand. But in all fairness, who wouldn't! Finally a friend braves the topic of STIs and coaxes him to see a doctor because clearly, he's fooling no one and this problem is getting in the way of him living life to the fullest. Once the doctor gives him the right medication, he too grabs life with both hands.
