If you have a bone in your penis, you may not be fully human.

Otherwise, don't x-ray your penis.

X-rays use invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs on film or digital media.

Good advice, but I put a Kleenex in my urethra for safekeeping and I'd love to track it down to get it out again.

Next time you have to fart just squeeze your butt cheeks together real hard. It’ll pop right out.
