> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by SPOOFE Bo Diddly \* > \*\*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. \*\* Spoofe, I challenge you to a game of billiards. 🙂 ---

I forget exactly what it was about (never actually saw it myself), but it involved ninjas, a monk, kung fu, and a penis. Exactly how, I’m not quite sure. ---
