"...they tell you that it's become tiny or that they've become impotent"

Note to self: Next time visiting the Congo, don't forget to pack your tuxedo. Because if I'm going to be impotent I sure as hell want to look impotent!

the Castanza Effect goes worldwide

The problem with Africa is that they just don't understand capitalism. Think how many $billions these sorcerers could make by casting enlarging spells for a fee.

Can I get that covered by Medicare, doc?

[piytar]

Ah, the “noble savages” that the left so loves...

[RichInOC]

So I asked myself: “Why are there so many penis thieves in Africa (allegedly)?”

And channeling Willie Sutton, I answered myself: “’Cause that’s where...”

Democratic Republic of Congo...horrific documentary on HBO recently told of the rapist culture in the Republic of Congo, where, among other atrocities, soldiers freely roam the countryside raping as many women as they can because they believe this makes them invulnerable when they go into battle - the dark continent is not very enlightened still......

"But when you try to tell the victims that their penises are still there, they tell you that it's become tiny or that they've become impotent. To that I tell them,...

Viva Viagra!

manhood is constantly threatened no matter what culture eh???!!!

There’s a song in here somewhere. Sadly, it’s probably in Urdu or something.

[umgud]

claimed that sorcerers simply touched them to make their genitals shrink or disappear,

Mine disapeared once, shortly after I peed on an electric fence. I think it may have touched the fence. I'm sure happy it returned.

So, it was Black Magic that did it too me.

I'm guessing it's "Red Magic". They must be importing adulterated junk and/or food from the PRC.

The Congo's ambulance service has been stretched thin.

Shrinkage!? I better quit deleting all those spam messages.

"It's real. Just yesterday here, there was a man who was a victim. We saw. What was left was tiny."

"Hillary takes no prisoners."

LOL!

[Titan Magroyne]

“I...I swear...it’s never happened to me before.”

“Objects in mirror are closer than they appear.”

“If you keep playing with it, it’ll fall right off.”

And that favorite of grandpas everywhere...

“Who’s got your winky? Who’s got your winky?” [as he demonstrates a “winky” snagged between his forefinger and middle finger]

Oh, wait. I think that was only MY grandpa.

[batter]

Hillary takes no prisoners.

Yeah, it's a nutcracker.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Operation Helen Thomas is working.

[GATOR NAVY]

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking too. Wonder if Rev. Wright would prefer living in the Congo having his penis stolen by witches to having a multi-million house in Chicago?

[bannie]

I'll bet hillary's leading the whole pack.

Pure ENVY.
