(I hate when that happens.) No mention of whether it was glued back in place.

Detachable Penis - catchy song from the mid '90s...

quote:
I woke up this morning with a bad hangover
And my penis was missing again.
This happens all the time.
It's detachable.

[background singing begins: "detachable penis" over and over]

This comes in handy a lot of the time.
I can leave it home, when I think it's gonna get me in trouble,
or I can rent it out, when I don't need it.
But now and then I go to a party, get drunk,
and the next morning I can't for the life of me
remember what I did with it.
First I looked around my apartment, and I couldn't find it.
So I called up the place where the party was,
they hadn't seen it either.
I asked them to check the medicine cabinet
'cause for some reason I leave it there sometimes
But not this time.
So I told them if it pops up to let me know.
I called a few people who were at the party,
but they were no help either.
I was starting to get desperate.
I really don't like being without my penis for too long.
It makes me feel like less of a man,
and I really hate having to sit down every time I take a leak.
After a few hours of searching the house,
and calling everyone I could think of,
I was starting to get very depressed,
so I went to the Kiev, and ate breakfast.
Then, as I walked down Second Avenue towards St. Mark's Place,
where all those people sell used books and other junk on the street,
I saw my penis lying on a blanket
next to a broken toaster oven.
Some guy was selling it.
I had to buy it off him.
He wanted twenty-two bucks, but I talked him down to seventeen.
I took it home, washed it off,
and put it back on. I was happy again. Complete.
People sometimes tell me I should get it permanently attached,
but I don't know.
Even though sometimes it's a pain in the ass,
I like having a detachable penis.

pleco. I'm astonished that you had those song lyrics ready for posting a scant minute and a half after I posted the message! How did you do that?

There's actually an Osirian myth that it mirrors. One big diff, is that Osiris never got his back. It was eaten by a crocodile.

Now that must suck. I bet Isis wasn't happy.

No, she wasn't. But she still used magic to produce children by him after it happened.

As with all things that aren't understood or seem very complex, the standard answer is "magic" or "god did it."

In this case, god is google, combined with good timing.

My mother always said I would lose my head if it wasn't screwed on. I had no idea she was talking about that head.

Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats. Because whatever true progress humanity makes is through the rationality of the occasional individual and because any one individual we may win for the cause may do more for humanity than a hundred thousand who hug their superstitions to their breast.

I have the album, "Mystcial Shit". Not terribly musical, but there are quite a few gems on there, I remember "Jesus Was Way Cool" and "Take Stuff from work" were particularly laugh-worthy.

John's just this guy, you know.
