Indian Men Swell Less With Pride

I just heard a report on the BBC World Service about a comprehensive study in India which found that "more than half of the men measured had penises that were shorter than international standards for condoms." Skeptics may rest assured that "scientists even checked their sample was representative of India as a whole in terms of class, religion and urban and rural dwellers." But Indian men are not shrinking from this challenge to their national pride. According to Sunil Mehra, former editor of the Indian version of Maxim, they need not be concerned about measuring up internationally: "It's not size, it's what you do with it that matters," he said. "From our population, the evidence is Indians are doing pretty well."

A tip o' the Sardonic Jimmy Hat to the World Service presenter Judy Swallow who managed to make it through this entire story without so much as a slight pause. That woman has ice in her veins. With a name like that, she'd better.
