You know what I keep thinking? It was someone’s job to cut the penises off a bunch of bunnies at the start of the experiment. “How was work today, honey?” “Uhhhhhh … don’t ask.” ---

I’m refusing to click on your link, I prefer to keep my initial mental image of bunny-to-human penis transplants. ---

In hindsight this was inevitable. ‘F$|(ing like rabbits’ isn’t a term that brings erectile dysfunction to mind. ---

Fking like bunnies is highly over-rated. Did you ever see bunnies do it? It takes about one second, and then the male hops away without so much as a “call me.” ---

They actually had all the bunnies lined up, assembly line style, to do this procedure, but every time they approached a bunny, it would hop backward, away from the scientist. This happened with every bunny in the experiment, with every scientist that attempted to try the experiment. So the scientists all had to deal with a receding hare line. ---

I am not sure where the “penis ensues” thing comes from (though I think I did see a thread where it occurred as a typo) but every time I see it I start laughing! it might be one of the funniest phrases I have ever seen - plus - band name?
