How-To: Keep Your Fly From Falling Down

This useful "first world solution" to a fly that won't stay zipped was posted on reddit by user ANatale (warning: NSFW). The original tutorial was written in a vernacular reminiscent of The Wu-Tang Clan's seminal "Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)," so I've just posted the images here.

p.s. in Swedish we call it a "lightening lock" because the zipper has a locking mechanism built in when in the down position to keep it from sliding down.

Putting the little zipper handle in the down position actually "locks" the zipper. I have been quite surprised in the past that not a lot of people know this! No need for any key ring (although the creativity is admirable), just make sure the zipper handle is in the locked position.

Smart idea. However, the original post lost my attention w/ all the jargon. I expected something more clever.
