I had to reach down into our garbage disposal last night to fish out a cherry pit and I was nervous just doing that… I guess he should be happy it wasn’t still attached to him when it went in there… I’m hoping she was on meth or something, otherwise, damn, that’s one mean bitch. ---

See, if there’s something the Bobbits taught us it’s that you can’t just cut it off and throw it out the window. No, you need to go the extra (figurative) mile to the (literal) garbage disposal. -Joe ---

“Aggravated mayhem.” There’s one label for a crime that insufficiently captures the nature of the behavior. It makes me think of the Muppet band, not of cutting someone’s penis off. ---

Is it possible for this poor guy to get some kind of penis transplant, or maybe some lifelike prosthesis or something, so he could live with an approximation of a normal penis? Or is he doomed to have nothing but a stump for the rest of his life? ---

Or is he doomed to have nothing but a stump for the rest of his life? I don’t know the mechanics of it, but I know there are female-\>male transgender operations, so there must be some technology available. Everybody’s being awfully hard on the poor girl. I’ve known quite a few marriages which would have been perfect if somebody could just have gotten the penis under control. . . ---

Its all really funny isnt it, jokes and puns ahoy. Except, if a wife had been tied to a bed and raped with a sharp implement, thus ensuring she could never have children again, making a joke would be considered the height of callousness. Just goes to show. ---

Unfortunately, things that are _relatively_ more common just don’t have as much dark comedic value. ---
