Bawdy Bards and That Kind of Odd News

There are two things I like: odd news and schadenfreude.

GMANews.TV reports that last Wednesday, a couple became the talk of the town because of a documented case of penis captivus. You usually read about this malady on humor sites, or you probably watched an episode of Grey’s Anatomy, or you probably saw two dogs literally stuck to each other after the whole hump is over.  Sophomoric, crude sources of humor?  Probably, but it’s damn sure funny.

I’m sure that it’s not funny for any guy to have his penis literally clamped by the vagina of his kerida (hey, that rhymed)… although I’m betting that some guys wouldn’t really mind being stuck in sex for hours on end, never mind that the end we’re talking about is buried in a woman’s private parts.  It did get me thinking, though, about how these things lend themselves too well for borderline tasteless, gross, and vulgar humor.

So if you’re sensitive or what, if you don’t know what satire is, or if you just keep tossing it around like salads (or a used condom) stop reading right about now.
