PENIS POLICE
By Mr_E_Writer
25 May 2008


No-one really knows how it all started. Some say that, tired of toiling for long hours in run-down backstreet sweatshops in the production of gametes, the gonads started to get testy.
   Tensions ran high, nerves became frayed; so it was simply just a matter of time before something snapped.  
   Taking to the streets in their thousands, gonads from the west side shanty towns marched towards city hall, waving banners and shouting abuse at innocent bystanders.
   At first, the police adopted a softly-softly approach, trying to quell the disorder with just two unarmed units from Ballsack15 - the scrotum squad. But the outnumbered scrotum officers failed to contain the gonads who, showing remarkable testicular dexterity, broke through the police ranks to continue with their march upon the local government's halls of power. 
   It was at this point that the chief of police decided to take a hard line in dealing with the demonstrators. Of the opinion that the gonads were clearly nuts, he ordered three squads of armed penis police to take up position on the front line. However, they were given clear instructions not to shoot unless provoked.
   It was late on Saturday night that the thin pink line stood firm against the charging gonads, erecting an inpregnable wall of human flesh that the testy testicles were unable to breach.
   In the aftermath, pubic opinion varied. Some said the police were too soft with the gonads, others claimed they'd been heavy handed. But one thing's for sure, ever since that fateful day no-one has dared to call the penis police soft pricks.

First paragraph = Epic :grin  
 
So clearly this was written more for fun than anything else. My only suggestion is to take the italics and quotes away from 'nuts' and 'pricks' to let the puns speak for themselves.

Mike, 
 
having read and reviewed “Vagina” I just felt that I had to offer up the other side of the groin. Sorry… coin.  
Okay, so I'm a bit of a knob! 
 
Cheers, 
Eric.

I loved the image of the protest march, well worth a chuckle.

I have to agree with everyone else - This made me laugh. 
 
Especially liked the idea of the "Scrotum Squad" - although it does conjure up some strange images!!

Dear paperboy and Nick, thank you for reading and commenting. 
No doubt some would look upon my story as a load of old b#######. 
 
Cheers, 
Eric.

A wonderfully surreal idea. You've created some bizarre images in my mind. Great fun.

Yes, very surreal, and wonderful use of the English language. I can see this as an `off the wall` video to accompany some Heavy-metal band I`ve never heard of...Great stuff Eric.
