Conservative “World Net Daily” had a link to this picture… [Three Taiwanese ‘qi gong’ practitioners…](http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/p/nm/20001029/en/mdf126644.html) Ladies, becareful of these guys! ---

Impressive, yes. But be warned: once you get it in your system you want to do it every night. ---

I saw this on the news this morning. What I want to know is: Who was the first guy to think of this? Did it really seem like a good idea at the time, or was he just kidding? What did the other guys says when he told them about it? Did they need much convincing? Was there opium involved? ---

So they pull a bus with their weeners. Big deal! A real man **pushes** a bus uphill, using his morning wood. ---

That’s painful just thinking about it, but I have to ask. How are they attached to the truck? ---

I cannot, for the life of me, figure out HOW they attached the ropes to their weinies. I mean sheesh, if it’s wrapped around in such a way and the rope tightens up… eeeeek, even as a woman that makes me cringe! ---

Of all the things I can think of doing with my penis, pulling a bus with it is nowhere on that list. ---

Imagine showing it to a woman… “man, how did you get it that long?” “uh…you see, there was this bus…” (sound of clothes being put on and door slamming) ---

You know those things that you stick your fingers (or whatever in this case) in, and the harder you pull, the tighter it gets. No matter how they did it, the better question is why. ---

I would be willing to bet you that alcohol had a role in the start of this - “Oh, yeah, asshole? Well, I can pull a bus with my dick!” (Said as one Tawianese drunk falls off his bar stool). ---

There’s a simple connection (so to speak) being missed here. The gentlemen portrayed are obviously restoring their foreskins. Afterwards, they will no doubt live normally for the first time in their lives, enjoy sex, love their parents, and become non-aggressive and non-fearless. Sometimes it’s necessary to go to such lengths. [sub] This reply will make little sense to those who don’t spend some time reading in GD. [/sub] ---

Ya know, I’m a relatively big guy (6’3") and I don’t know if me and 2 of my friends could pull a bus using our _hands_! I heard about this on **Bob and Tom** this morning… eech. ---

Aw, heck, that’s nothing. Why, I often use my penis to plow the fields, lift my car so I can change the oil, fold my laundry, go grocery shopping (it’s handy to get the stuff on the very top shelves), play baseball, go pole-vaulting, refill the swimming pool, and to fill out my tests in school. My penis is very versatile. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/bet-you-wish-yours-was-this-strong/39242.md?page=2)
