#1 Ok, the LAST thing I want to see at 2am is somebody's wanker. Especially if he is playing with it.

#2 Talking penis' monologue cut off

by Lorena Bobbit

A penis that tells jokes on late night public access television may be expressive of something. . . .

#4 I think the talking penis gag was first used in the movie "The Groove Tube", back in the 1970s. And for a while there, not too long ago, there was a traveling show with three guys who did a "Penis Puppet Show". I guess the bottom line is that your jokes have to be *good* to get First Amendment protection. For example, he wouldn't have been prosecuted if there had been *two* penii doing the "Who's on First" routine, or if he could do impersonations like Rich Little.

#6 Unfortunately for all of us, he is probably just 15 years ahead of his time. I write this because it is now near impossible to scroll through the channels without encoutering at least one commercial for natural male enhansement.
