(Series 6, Episode 4)


A: Jo, the latest instalment of:

 

                            

J: Er, well I don't know if it is actually about this, but I'd like it to be because it's a good story about that woman in America who cut off her husband's penis while he was asleep because he hadn't put the shelves up very well or something like that.

P: She should have just used a spirit level!

J: And then actually what she did was she drove off and threw it out of the window and the police had to go and find it.

I: The shelf?

J: No, the penis!

I: Oh, sorry!

J: And apparently he has had it sewn back on.  And his name was Wayne Bobbit, and it's now Wayne Bobbit Very Gently Or It Might Fall Off.

P: I thought they'd found it after it had been run over by a bus, so it's wider but flatter.  He uses it as a bookmark!

J: He actually uses it as a shelf now!

P: I suppose it was confusing - it's out on the road somewhere, go and find it and sort of like just sew a hedgehog back on.  That's what actually happened and he complained after three days because it kept making holes in his underpants.

A: Where did you read this?

P: In Fantasy Land!  It'd be terrible if your sexual organs were a hedgehog though, because they would go to sleep every six months.  Mmm, so what's new?  You'd have to give it a saucer of milk every half hour.  Underpants manufacturers would eventually adapt it into the design.  Would be awful.  You know people make a terrible fuss about women breastfeeding in public - I mean, you would soon have something to complain about if we had to take our trousers down in five minutes and put a saucer of milk down there.  And breadcrumbs.

A: It is the latest development in the continuing saga of Lorena Bobbit, who took things into her own hands and severed her unfaithful husband's penis.  Michael Jackson has already put in a bid for it.

I: Why?

P: Why?

J: Is it because of the tattoo?

A: Might be.

J: It is because of the tattoo.  Sorry.

A: No, it was a complete red herring.  Erm, it is...

P: I thought we'd established it was a hedgehog!

A: Yes!

P: That'd be terrible if your private parts were a fish.  You'd have to keep it in water the whole time.

I: Yeah, and they'd never go to sleep!

P: You'd have to walk around with a goldfish bowl full of water strapped on.  And if you went swimming someone might accidentally catch it and you'd be up on a line.  God knew what he was doing!

A: Just as well it isn't then!

P: Could be a giraffe.

A: Half an hour on a giraffe?

P: Not now, I haven't got time!  I wouldn't mind half an hour on a giraffe though.  Very sexy animals, giraffes.

A: You don't have to tell me.

P: Yeah, they can see the police coming, so by the time they get there, you can go 'no'!  I used to go out with a giraffe.  Used to take it to the pictures and that.  You'd always get some bloke behind complaining that he couldn't see the screen.  It's a giraffe mate, what do you expect?  Well, he can take his hat off for a start!
