A Tail By Any Other Name : Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert thinks it would be awfully handy to have an extra appendage. A Providence handyman sees things a little differently.
He just couldn't wait those 2 years, could he?

How much did Scott Adams pay you to propagate the notion that Scott Adams is in any way relevant since over five years ago?
Now I need a post showcasing the social insights of Jay Leno.

squirrel: I would say that he didn't pay me enough.
Perhaps I'm just easily amused, but I think the idea of using a perma-erection as a hammer is at least giggle-worthy, even if the idea came from a source prone to fits of lameness.
(Full disclosure: I found this randomly. I don't even read Dilbert and honestly don't know why half the cartoons are supposed to be funny. It's about cubicles, right?)

Dilbert was never quite as lame as that blog post, was it?

Even if my willie shrunk to the size of a raisin, even if my member inverted and pointed toward my liver, even if my johnson were limper than overcooked linguine, even if my pistol were shooting nothing but nerf pellets, even if my cucumber were withered and dried and seedless, even if my wife cried when she saw me naked, even if my manhood were easily confused with an unrolled and empty condom, even if the fate of all humanity somehow hinged on my getting a boner, I would NOT, REPEAT NOT, NOT EVER, even utter the words "steel and plastic implant," let alone allow such a device within 100 yards of my crotch.

brain_drain, does typing count as uttering? I thought uttering involved using your voice ;-)

Squirrel: It must be very stressful, following all the trendy fashions in order to become such a sphincter of sophistication.
brain_drain: betcha you'd change your mind if the alternative was no-joy.
Otherwise: Couldn't this dude just have tried wearing some tight briefs under baggy pants?

This guy must have heard every possible variation of the "...or are you just happy to see me" joke possible.
...good for him.

Damnit, and here I thought this was going to be about how to get yourself a prehensile tail. Stupid men and their stupid omnipresent penises.

It doesn't take a "sphincter of sophistication" to see that Adams jumped the shark almost a decade ago, Goof, but I appreciate your proboscis of concern. :^D

I have to hold my nose whenever I read anything Adams writes, if only because of his Intelligent Design posts.
Also, upon reading the comments in that thread, it seems he agrees with this guy about gravity.
