Blast it, how do I pin a comment... I just get stupid mod options to nuke it. This needs to be put on the fridge.
Most animals with penises don't have ones that work as effective shovels
Yeah we have tongues for that.
I always tell people about ducks and get them to laughXD
You tell them about rape and they laugh?
Yep, I mean it's not human rape, its duck quirkiness. That's funny... I know,humans are weirdXD
You tell them that duck vagina evolved to stop the rape and the males still dont stop?
Yes, in your case not?
Touché!
That is why I always carry a straw with me when I go on dates
They also vibrate.
For her pleasure
Human penises do this too.
Yeah, that's the only reason I ever bang OP's mom
Yeah, but you've gotta find one, put a handle on it... Do the digging around with it, then have the actual sex afterwards. It's a whole deal - takes most of a day.
If you like it, then you better put a handle on it.
I was gonna say, this is a very typical activity. Until I read the rest of the post
On potential mates? Meaning there's dragonflies who do the scooping and then be like "never mind"?
Yeah it's when they notice how much was in there they be like bye Felicia!
Don't kinkshame.
Been dragon too much jizz, imma fly right outta here.
Or another dragonfly dude came along and scooped out his spunk
Yeah but as soon as he inserts his penisshovel she's not a potential mate anymore?
Oh that's nothing, duck penises explode and have fucking spikes.
Just realized that the last term can be taken with two completely different but still accurate meanings.
And duck vaginas in response have a maze of dead ends. Duck reproduction is FUBAR.
It is penis.
The clerk was just reacting to the person somehow using "it's" in a way they could hear
