Here’s a little game. Adrants reader John Brock sent us a link to a story about a product called Brief Safe. It’s a way to hide valuable in plain site but deter anyone and everyone from going near them. what is it? It’s a pair of underwear with a hidden pocket and…yes…disgusting skid marks on the back. Just hang these babies anywhere and you’re guaranteed no one will go near them.

John wonders how a product like this would be marketed so let’s have fun. How would you do it? What would you do? Tells us in comments and we’ll publish the best answer right here on the front page.

I’m 73 and I raised two kids who all turned out successful — but when I mention feeling lonely they tell me I should ‘get a hobby’ and I realized they genuinely don’t understand that hobbies don’t replace the people you sacrificed everything to raise
