I love those Wikipedia amateur images of a "typical penis". Somewhere, some exhibitionist with a good camera has managed to get millions of people to look at his dick, every day.

Two guys are walking across the Golden Gate Bridge together. At the middle they both stop and begin peeing off the side of the bridge.
One turns to the other and says "waters cold."
The other replies "deep too."

This problem is so common that Wikimedia Commons has a no-penis icon used specifically to warn that Wikimedia Commons does not generally require user-submitted images of their own penises.

This is funny because just this morning, I saw my cat's tiny, pointy penis and said, "HAHA! YOU HAVE A TINY, POINTY PENIS!" He just glanced up at me and gave me a look which clearly said, "it may be tiny, but at least I can lick it". Little bastard.
