I’m concerned.

The story?
Iceland has world’s largest penis museum.
Inside the museum’s large illuminated rooms, there are penises and penile parts of all shapes and sizes from a huge array of mammals, from whales to bears, seals to cats, and even mice.
It also houses a wide range of genital-themed artefacts, among them trays, totem poles and a telephone.
“Who could resist coming to a penis museum?” said 62-year-old Kim, a tourist from Canada who did not reveal her last name.
“We thought it will be hilarious and it is,” she said, bursting out laughing as she and her friend look at a tube supposedly containing the invisible penis of an “elf”.
– ‘Started as a joke’ –
The Phallological Museum is anything but quiet as visitors giggle while observing the 286 exhibited biological specimens.
“It’s a good plateau for jokes and having a good time. You can get educated and at the same time have some fun,” said Hjortur Sigurdsson, 52, a former logistics manager who runs the museum.
His father Sigurdur Hjartarson, a historian who worked as a teacher for 37 years, opened the museum in 1997, starting with just 62 specimens.
“It all started as a joke,” he told AFP.
“My father had fun just collecting, doing something no one has done before. He always said ‘somebody had to do it’.”
Back in 1980, Hjartarson had already gathered 13 specimens, nine from land mammals and four from whales.
Within a decade, that number had grown to 34.
– A human phallus –
But it was years before the museum got its hands on a human specimen, sent in by a 96-year-old Icelandic donor who was worried his manhood would shrink as he got older, Sigurdsson says.
Asked if he too would be willing to contribute to the museum’s unique collection, visitor Jerry Andersson was nonplussed.
“Sure. I’m donating my organs, I guess I can donate one more.”
Jerry is British right? Nuff said….
A Whale schlong is called a Dork..
Dang Jerry beat me to it.
And…. Barrack’s presidential library can be accessed through the back door….
Something just got added to my bucket list.
No, No No No, and if in case I was not clear…No!
Howard Stern mentioned on “The Five” today now this on IOTW!
Down on the waterfront in Seattle close to the aquarium there is a gift shop that had a whale penis predominantly displayed hanging from the ceiling. My son when he was about 11 or 12 was quite impressed and couldn’t stop laughing.
🙃
When I die I’ll donate. They’ll have to add on a new wing to store this behemoth.
The West Wang.
In the US, you have to travel to Washington DC to see that many dicks in one place. They aren’t impressive.
“What Makes Tipsters Think We Will Post These Types of Stories?”
I can’t imagine.

I’d donate mine but I don’t think they have the room.
The plural of “penis” is “penii”
@the nerdest – The proper plural of penis is penes; penises is also considered correct. Sorry, but penii and peni are erroneous.
@Uncle Al: What about “penne”? Could Italians have penne that was pasta its prime?
😉
Yup. The documentary about this museum is called: The Last Member.
