You're fifteen feet tall and eat trees -- why the camouflage?

This is a total hijack, but I think this thread can handle it:

In Venezuela, there is the UL that people from the Llanos region, I believe, will paint their testis yellow on their wedding night as a way to determine the modesty and sexual inexperience of their brides. (if she says “why are your balls yellow?” she has been around too much :smack: )

As a counterpoint I’ll continue the hijack with this.

A friend of mine has only one testicle. He once told me the following story:

He was in bed with a new lady friend. In the course of night’s activities she was feeling around and evidently detected something amiss. He could tell she was counting and kept coming up a little short.

She finally said, “Hey, you have only one ball!”

He started to guffaw. “You’re not trying to make me believe other guys have two, are you?!”

Again, I am seeing the misconception that evolution somehow plans out the “best” attributes as if they were designed by God himself. Giraffes could have been any color. It’s just that the brown spotted ones lived longer. Why do we paint a 50,000 ton battleship gray? Cause it blends in better than orange.

**There was a young man from Bengal,
Who complained that he had but one ball.

     Then four little bitches
     They pulled down his britches

And found that he had none at all.

There was a young man from Devises,
Whose balls were of different sizes.

     One was so small
     It was nothing at all

The other took numerous prizes.**

It’s amazing how well giraffes actually do blend in. I’ve been to Tanzania, Africa, a couple of times. You will be driving around a game park, when someone says “Hey look, a giraffe.” So you all get your cameras out, and start looking. Then someone sees a second, and a third and a fourth. All in the same place. All looking at you. They just blend into the trees.

My parents had a great picture. At first glance, it’s one giraffe and some trees near a river. If you look at it long enough, there are actually about 8 giraffes in the picture, and I’m talking you can see quite a bit of them, not just their left ear while the rest is hidden.
