Hi Irishman. I messed up the post and I couldn’t fix it after I sent it. I meant that I said, "penie, because I “didn’t” want to use the real word (penis). :o ---

Thanks for the clarification. Pssst, hey everyone, there’s an object lesson in there for you. Notice how I didn’t lash out and call him an imbecile and berate him up one side and down the other and declare him an inbred mindless sea slug.\* I just asked for clarification. See how easy that was? 😉 (Being a good poster, of course I’d have put that in a thread in the BBQ Pit. 😉 ) ---

_Hmmm thinks I’d better find out what the BBQ pit is._ ---

The BBQ Pit [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/forumdisplay.php?forumid=5](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/forumdisplay.php?forumid=5) It’s the place for all the nasty insults, rants against the world, and discussion of the board administration. Enjoy. Or run screaming. 😉 ---

By the way, the rule for language on the boards is relevance. In a discussion on the relative pleasures of sex, the word “penis” (plural “penes”, since you were wondering ;)) is certainly relevant, so there’s no problem. ---

Chronos, what is allowed on this board is very confusing to me. I went to the BBQ Pit and all those cuss words are their and in some of the titles too. ---

Yes, the purpose of the BBQ Pit is flaming, and pretty much any unpleasent word is relevant in a flame. Standard disclaimer, though: If you post in the Pit, you’re very likely to get flamed yourself. Par for the course. If you don’t like such language, then you’d be well-advised to avoid the place. ---

Penies have feelings and an ear does not have the muscle contractions, and undulations like a “you know what” has in a woman. Hrm… I guess the real question is, if you stick a penie in your ear when it itches (the ear, silly!) and scratch, which feels better. I dare say I wouldn’t know… Tenebras ---

Tenebras, if you can get your penis in your ear, there is something seriously wrong. 😉 ---

That’s an awfully big ear, owlstretchingtime. But what should I expect from a person with “stretch” in their name? 😉 ---

I think that’s how you get it in someone _else’s_ ear, but maybe not… ---
