That’s because we’re uncool. And while women will always be a problem for us, most of the great art in the world is about that very same problem. Good-looking people don’t have any spine. Their art never lasts. They get the girls, but we’re smarter.

Isn’t it awfully nice to have a penis? Isn’t it frightfully good to have a dong? It’s swell to have a stiffy, it’s divine to own a dick, from the tiniest little tadger to the world’s biggest prick.

So, 3 cheers for your Willie or John Thomas! Hurray for your 1-eyed trouser snake! Your piece of pork, your wife’s best friend, your Percy, or your cock. You can wrap it up in ribbons, you can slip it in your sock,

But don’t take it out in public or they’ll stick you in the dock, and you won’t come back. (THANK YOU VERY MUCH.)

You know, I think I understand what you’re like now. You’re very beautiful and you think men are only interested in you because you’re beautiful, But you want them to be interested in you because you’re YOU.

The problem is, aside from all that beauty, you’re not very interesting. You’re rude, you’re hostile, you’re sullen, you’re withdrawn… oh, I know you want someone to look past all that at the real person underneath. But the only reason anyone would bother to look past all that is because you’re beautful.

Ironic, isn’t it? In an odd way you’re your own problem.

First, you’ve got that bloody old fortress on top of that bloody cliff. Then you’ve got the bloody cliff overhang. You can’t even see the bloody cave, let alone the bloody guns. And anyway, we haven’t got a bloody bomb big enough to smash that bloody rock. And that’s the bloody truth, sir

And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, ‘O Lord, bless this Thy hand grenade that, with it, Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits in Thy mercy.’ And the Lord did grin, and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals and fruit bats and large chu–
