TMI means too much information, in this case basically the picture might be too much for some peple or may not be suitable for work or wherever. ---

Is this photo a fake? If so, it’s a good one. Say, fer shits ‘n giggles it’s real. Then we’re lookin’ at a bona fide orca dork. Now, what I wanna know is, where the hell does all that go when Willy ain’t sportin’ a woody? Second, how on Earth did that marine biologist or whoever get Willy to just belly up and pop a stiffy like that? Thirdly, what in the blazes is that guy doing with Willy’s dork in his hand? ---

> [@Loopydude](#): > > Now, what I wanna know is, where the hell does all that go when Willy ain’t sportin’ a woody? It’s retractable. In fact, it was the original inspiration for the roof mechanism at Bank One Ballpark. In turbulent waters, it extends and serves as a keel. > [@](#): > > Second, how on Earth did that marine biologist or whoever get Willy to just belly up and pop a stiffy like that? Well, it all started with candles, soft music, and a bucket of fish. Then came the reach-around . . . > [@](#): > > Thirdly, what in the blazes is that guy doing with Willy’s dork in his hand? If you magnify the picture, you can just make out the words “Call me Ishmael” ---

> [@Loopydude](#): > > Is this photo a fake? If so, it’s a good one. Looks real enough to me. The light source and shadows are in all the right places, the base is seamless, the compression artifacts are consistent with the rest of the photo, and it’s the right size and shape to be a real orca dork. (Orca penises are pointy on the end; this one looks like the tip is flopping over, which would account for the “helmet.”) > [@](#): > > Now, what I wanna know is, where the hell does all that go when Willy ain’t sportin’ a woody? Joking or not, Skelji had this one right. A)Whales need to be streamlined. B)They swim in very cold water. Ergo, everything gets tucked up inside. > [@](#): > > Thirdly, what in the blazes is that guy doing with Willy’s dork in his hand? Note the zipper baggie in his other hand. Now aren’t you glad you don’t work at Sea World? 😃 ---

> [@Jenaroph](#): > > Joking or not, Skelji had this one right. A)Whales need to be streamlined. B)They swim in very cold water. Ergo, everything gets tucked up inside. But the whales in attractions like at Seaworld would be in enclosures quite a bit warmer. So how come I’ve never “seen willy” before? Also, it wasn’t even hard. How the hell is it meant to “function”? A quality piece of work so it’s either a really, REALLY good fake or it’s not a penis at all, Like the supposed penis shown on a whaling ship, which is infact the intestines or something. There’s a link somewhere in Snopes, I’ll find it now. ---

Again, cold water isn’t the only issue; whales are streamlined for swimming. It’d cause a lot of drag if Willy had that thing hanging out while he’s trying to hunt. Evolution gave him a penis that gets out of the way when he’s not using it; he’s not going to let it all hang out simply because the water’s a little warmer today. 😉 As for the hardness issue, seeing as how the tip is still floppy, maybe he simply wasn’t ready yet. Heh, think about that, it gets even bigger. ---

Or may be he had just…finished. :eek: :eek: I didn’t think it was possible but I have just managed to creep myself out.
