Next time I lose something down the drain, I want those same utility workers on the job. ---

Sounds like he was thinking with his penis, rather than thinking for his penis. ---

Round about the same time as we learn to laugh at scorned male lovers who mutilate women, I’m guessing. ---

How long was it between the organ being severed and its retrieval/reattachment? Seems utterly incredible that this was possible. ---

Well, this did happen in Alaska - I would imagine the cold would help preserve the penis, though maybe with some shrinkage. 😃 ---

In Thailand they allegedly “feed it to the ducks”. It’s supposedly common enough there that they have doctors who specialize in the reattachment. ---

I’m ashamed to admit that I laughed my ass off last night when I saw this on the local news. The anchor and the reporter managed to do the entire story without so much as a hint of a smile. All I could think about was the duty plumber getting the call late at night: “Yeah, this is Bill. Say what? Who the fuck is this, man, that shit ain’t funny…You want me to retrieve a WHAT?!” ---
