Vince, I remember being taught at college that very early Christians got into the habit of cutting of their penises, as I recall because they were a source of sin and imperfection, rendering the penis-holder less than godlike.
Hmm ... well, anytime I've held one I've generally felt less than godlike, unless it was a strap-on and then ... oh wait, that's a different subject altogether! ; )
As for them being imperfect, penises (peni?) are usually fairly odd looking things. I've seen maybe two that I could say looked good. Of course, beauty is in the eye ... (would that be one eye?)
I don't know if this is a true story, but it's a good one.
A good story, or a good idea? Just kidding! Lori
