I guess that beats the Christmas tree tatooed on the glans of an unconscious gentleman I had the honor to admit one night. He never woke up, so we never found out _WHY!?_😕 :eek:

Just out of curiosity, have you any thoughts as to what he had injected into his penis?

**QtM** , I don’t think I’ve posted in one your anecdotal threads before but I just wanted to say that I always find them fascinating and endlessly entertaining. Have you ever thought of compiling some of your “war stories” into a book?

But to the patient’s regret and consternation, no length had been added, the thing was not quite as aesthetically pleasing as he had expected, and it hurt like hell when he tried to use it in the traditional copulatory manner.

So I guess his bitch had to assault himself?

Seriously. You could do for prison doctoring what James Herriot did for veterinarians. _All Penii Short and Wide_

Was his dick injected with silicone?

Oh, prison penis stories. **QtM** , I have to ask if you’ve ever seen anything like this. Back in college I had a friend that had been to prison (I didn’t hit college till 24) and he told of a time he used a super-hot wire to burn a hole through his glans. It was a dare but I forget the money he made.

Anyway, it was a great story, but when he first told me and my roommate, we immediately called bullshit. Lo and behold he dropped trou and sure as shit, there was one of those little tiny padlocks you sometimes see on a jewelry case. His g/f discovered it was a great way to keep him from cheating on her.

This is not anecdotal. I saw the damn mutilation. Apparently he was lucky enough to not hit anything vital and he claimed no functional damage.

So is this something that occasionally happens, or is he just a bigger freak than I ever imagined?

True, **Merc** , but you left too many clues. Someone with a penis fixation, who was ‘impecunious’ and left you deeply ‘consternated’.

So now we know in which part of the States \*\*nonpolar \*\* resides.

You don’t know the half of it. Google on the words “penis subincision” and prepare for a full body cringe.

You know, I’ve seen drawings of people with their heads on the desk slamming their fist on it repeatedly in rapturous laughter, but I’ve never actually done it.

Until now. Forget the monitor and keyboard requests. **roger** , you owe me a new desk! :mad:

The burning wire I don’t know about ( :eek: ) but for completeness’ sake, I’d point out that there are a great variety of piercings of the penis that can be done in a more orthodox manner.

I know you can’t legally answer this, Q, so just cough or something if I’m right…

I don’t know about you, but some of the, uh, after-market decorations I’ve seen done to penii… penes… penises… dicks, would give you the impression that they were touched up with a chainsaw.

The blunt object he was hit in the head with probably had more of an impact on his state of consciousness. (sic)  
I found it strange that it was his only tatoo. Of course, as I think about it, that may be why.

Oh, man, I _love_ these stories! Keep 'em coming, **Qadgop**

And I agree, you should write a book. If the writing part is an obstacle you can hire a ghost writer to help you out. But you’ve got the stories already.
