I could hardly believe it when I saw the title of this thread, so I ignored it for awhile. Now, having investigated, I find it is a treasure trove of humour, indeed.

However, to wax serious for a moment here, I think we might all ponder as to why the word "penis" raises such concern in people's minds? Why should it? Why should it be any more controversial than "ear", "foot", "leg", etc. It's a part of the body. Surely all parts of the body have an equal and essential right to be appreciated and respected.

Why are so many swear words associated with the penis (or the vagina)??? Or sex generally??? Pretty sick situation.

These are indications of a culture that's got a serious problem around sex, largely due to the misguided efforts of 3 churches over the past few thousand years...the Jewish, Muslim, and Christian churches.

I certainly don't blame Jesus for that. I blame a long succession of guilt-haunted priests and religious authorities, who have misused his name. Too bad Jesus couldn't have stopped by and given them a good stiff lecture and straightened them out. (How's that for Freudian language, eh?) Mind you, they'd probably just have burned him at the stake or something like that...as an impostor or a heretic.

Hooray for Jesus, and phooey on the flippin' churches! (most of 'em, that is)
