Dying to hear the end of the story. So did he opt for the 12-inch strap-on?

Am 80cm stork has a 4-5 inch beak.  A 150 cm stork has an even bigger pecker.

The Storks (Ciconiidae) are the largest of the Ciconiiformes standing 22 to 60 inches or 55 to 150 cms tall.

As a family they have 12 primaries, though in some species the 12th is secondarily reduced or absent altogether. They have the delightful habit of defecating on their legs in order to cool them down, evaporative cooling at its smelliest. They also have 12 retrices (tail feathers).

I doubt he cares how big his new prosthetic pecker is as long as it works.  :twistedevil:

Well, he won't have any feeling or sensitivity in it, so that has to present a challenge.

Sounds like a party. Do the females have general elections? can-did-ates? 12 ballot boxes?
