 The Land of a Thousand PenisesPosted on Jan 4, 2011
Bhutan, that tiny, idyllic country nestled between China and India, has a thing for male genitals. However, an influx of tourists and their prudish ways threatens the ancient art of penis worship, the Global Post reports.

Leefeller: Better not tell your priest, it might be just the sign from above he is looking for to continue with the altar boys.
richard roe: “how in the world do these people who are so uptight about anything sexual ever breed?”
They must force themselves to preform the sexual act as God demanded that they go forth and by fruitful. Strangely, these same “uptight” people usually the fundies and other ultra religious have a ton of kids like the Duggar family. So even though sex is bad, they must do as God commands.

A masonic symbol with a pyramid at the very top. Also, very evidently a phallic symbol. In fact, DC is full of masonic symbols.
There are more than a few theses that Masonry, at its heart, is the study of hidden meanings in numerous sexual symbols. Not being a Mason, and therefore not “initiated”, however, I cannot say.
But others do. Read here for an interesting reflection upon the “hidden meanings” of Freemasonry.
Nothing like sex to liven up a blog!

Yawn.
Penis art is common in Greece, Italy, and Bali. Some temples in Nepal & India are covered with erotic carvings…
If tourists want to see nothing different from where they live then they should simply stay home.
How in the world do these people who are so uptight about anything sexual ever breed?

I find this article so disgusting I am going to report it to my priest.
What is going on with TD, we got the Capitan of the Enterprise taking showers with his crew, Mr Fish demeaning the president of the Untied States (using the word United loosely here) and this article on a thousand penises, next we are going to see a video tape of the Virgina monologues!
Me thinks TD is becoming like the Huffingsposty! (not really)
This article makes me think of Congress, but so does a skunk!

The penis was regularly referenced in art and religion of Western Europe until the foreign influences of Christianity intruded on our culture.
Everything from lamps to street corners were decorated with “dicks” in profusion. Get over it.

Rather than gutting one of the things that makes Bhutan Bhutan, the tourism industry might consider just putting out the word that this isn’t just like every other place you’ve ever visited?
Nah, that would just put everybody off.

When Mrs. Bobbit threw her husband’s penis out the car window to get rid of the evidence, she misjudged her aim and it landed on the windshield of the car in back of her.
The two nuns who were in the other car saw a big SPLAT on the windshield and one of them asked,
“What kind of a bug was that?” The other nun replied,
“I don’t know but did you see the size of the dick it had?”
I couldn’t help it. Those pictures reminded me of so many funny jokes. I tried to tell the cleanest one.
