Note to male readers:  this will make you cringe.

One of my friends, Andrea L., sent me an email this morning because she felt it was her duty to report to me that an iguana with an erection is facing a penis amputation.  Here is the link:  http://www.24.com/news/?p=tsa&i=399560.  I find it interesting that after telling me about Mozart and his monster boner, she went on to relate her son was on his first date.  Hmmmm, hope there's no connection there....

It has been an interesting week in the reptile world.  First there was the komodo dragon who reproduced asexually and has been hailed as the savior of the lizard world.  Now we have an iguana who has had an erection for over a week and the zookeepers are planning on chopping it off to put an end to it!  Talk about adding insult to injury!!

Most men, upon hearing the news of a week long erection, are high fiving each other and going "dude....way to go!!"   The article does not mention whether the iguana eats a special diet or whether he did anything in particular to achieve the permanent erection.  It simply states the boner must go.  Apparently, however, a week-long boner is not desirable in reptiles. However, the article does go on to reassure readers that iguanas have, not one, but two penis's, so Mozart has a back up boner with which to please the ladies!!  Well, thank goodness!

So it's good to be an iguana.  You can get a stiffy without the aid of Viagra and it lasts for days on end.  Then, if you start having problems with that one, you can just flip a switch, and presto, you have a backup engine!!  But woe betide if you should fail to ejaculate in a timely manner because the zookeepers have no patience with a woody that lingers too long, leading to the expression "no drain, much pain".  The zookeepers reassure the public that it won't interfere with Mozart's sex life at all to only have one penis.  I wonder what Mozart has to say on the subject. 

So the moral of the story is a boner a day keeps the doctor away, but a boner that won't go away means the doctor is going to CUT IT OFF!!!  So guys, be careful what you wish for!!
