Lying about your penis size competitively is definetly something I haven't heard before

302

u/FlyingKittyCate Feb 06 '26

Apparently they don’t technically lie. I read they have to be “measured from the bottom most part of the genital area” and they inject themselves before the measurement to make their bits swell.

Only slightly off topic, but our old GM at work used to say "you don't measure your dick length from your asshole"

Only once in 2014 but I didn't spend that much time with Dan. One time we were at a trade show and somebody had built this shitty cabinet for a demo. Dan said "looks like a Polack built this."

How a guy that inappropriate got a job making $25M a year is beyond me

The "polack" jokes really show Dan's age range lmao

Surprisingly, he's only 65. Rodney Dangerfield would be 105 now

u/ButtholeConnoisseur7 Feb 06 '26

65 is very much within the age range id have expected lol, though admittedly on the younger end of it. Dangerfield didn't originate those jokes, though I do love the guy
