    It should come as no surprise to anyone that the U.S. city of New Bern has removed the penis from its coat of arms.

        Oh man - if I start spreading this around town it could be a good way to get them to put the penis back on.

            “Fix” is a euphemism for “neuter.”

      I wonder why they didn’t also remove the ‘Edward Penis-hands’ while they were at it.

      Just need a red magic marker to adjust them.

      FYI, this design has been penisless since it was founded.
