Even if drunk off my ass, as long as my ass can find the toilet seat, I won’ t spray piss all over Greater Mississippi.

That is all.

Have fun peeing in the woods, though. 🙂

Can you spell your name with pee?

It’s the threat of legal action that’s the drawback. When you have a penis, it can be ensued.

I’m glad I don’t have one because my pants are too tight and I’m sure I’d be getting the little guy stuck in the zipper all the time. I can only imagine that would be quite painful.

My first name begins with a pee, so I doubt I could spell it _without_ one.

Having one makes things like painting, driving, and climbing ladders a lot easier.

Number ONE reason I’m glad I don’t have a vagina:

That bleeding thing.

Okay, I’m female, and I thought that was funny. 😛  
Aside from the fact that, at my house, I am the painter, driver, and ladder climber. The human with the penis, here, is the computer programmer, tech services, snake-killing, trash-taker-outer.

So what’s the number two reason? Maybe we can get a top ten going, here.

Cite which part of the statement? That my pants are too tight? That if I had a penis it would be a “little guy”? Or that getting a penis stuck in a zipper is quite painful?

We’re talking about penises and vaginas here; what’s number two got to do with it? 😃

Well one is hypothetical; one is obvious. You’ll have to prove your pants are too tight.
