I suppose these guys know how to keep it up or down, as needs must. \*\* I suspect the attachment point is not the penis, _per se_, but to the rear of the scrotum (around the top of the penis, underneath the scrotum behind the testicles). Thus, a very small bowline could be used; the testicles would prevent slippage, and the bowline would prevent slipping of the knot and subsequent damage to one’s sensitive bits. But **Chronos** is right about the relative ease of this feat (relative to impossible, that is). What I want to see them do is _prevent_ said bus, stuck in neutral, from rolling downhill, with their penises. Then I’ll be impressed. LL ---

Shouldn’t we be applying a bit more sceptical scrutiny to this feat? Judging from the picture, the naughty bits have been artfully draped in what appears to be a smart looking leopard skin loincloth. Wouldn’t this provide the opportunity for,as the Republicans might say,“mischief” in the hitching up of the truck? How hard would it be to attach the truck to some sort of harness or rope tied with a bowland knot around the waist? Suppose a firewalker said “trust me that under this long skirt I’m actually barefoot”, or a psychic healer said “ignore this curtain-like towel that I’ve draped over my subject, I’m REALLY pulling this guy’s guts out without surgical instruments.” Even the most gullible wouldn’t buy it. Didn’t the Wizard of Oz teach us anything? I say let’s take a peek at that “little man behind the curtain” before accepting this performance at face value. ---

Hmmmpf As if I would let a reference to a dictionary be the last word! I hereby dictate my abdication from this written intercourse. :-Þ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/this-is-immposible-cant-be-real-check-it-out/41252.md?page=1)
