Reader Comment Of The Week
Yes, I know it is only Monday— but I seriously doubt I’ll get anything as choice as the following the next five days. It comes courtesy of stewartparis and pertains to yesterday’s post about a very special billboard in Marine Park. He writes:
Really don’t want to ruin the fun, but I do believe that is a prostate. I prefer corn as explanation.
To add to the educational experience, I am a Physician assistant and while in school, to learn what a normal prostate is supposed to feel like, we were told, the normal prostate is supposed be about the size of a walnut and to feel like the end of your nose, one that you would be suspicious of cancer is similar to the bridge of your nose (firm or even nodular) and an infected prostate (prostatitis) would feel like your cheek (boggy).
I love that whenever I discuss this with patients or friends, people inevitably sample their nose, to see what that feels like. Imagine a room full of PA students with looks of clarification while touching their nose, but imagining it was while their finger was up a strangers butt!!!! Or even better imagine a student during a real exam, not sure about the exam, touching their nose while the other hand is doing THE exam.
Hopefully there are NY Shitty friends across the boroughs touching their noses right now.
Hell Stew, on a dreary day like this I hope my readers are touching a lot more than their noses! Although I have been told massaging this gland creates a sensation that is not for everyone I’d wager a few men might like it. Grab a lab partner and head to the closest office bathroom guys. A brave scientific experiment awaits you!

New York Shitty Day Ender: Best. Billboard. EVER.
This, what is hands-down the best advertisement to grace Kings County and perhaps even the world, hails from Marine Park and comes courtesy of my good friend Rowan. She was kind enough to not only give me permission to feature the above photographs but also took the time to give me the “back story” behind this piece of anatomically correct advertising. She writes:
I (we – two other friends were there, too) saw this while driving on Flatbush Ave. in Marine Park… the conversation went something like this:
Emily: oh look, a giant billboard about hemorrhoids. gross. (everyone laughs and ews). then, we move a few stop lights closer…
Me: What is that in the word proctology? Is that…an ASS?!? (HAHAHAHA!)
Emily: OH MY GOD! It IS an ass! (HAHAHAHA!)
Chris: Holy SHIT, it’s an ass. (HAHAHAHA!)
Me: Or a hemorrhoid? No, that’s going too far.
Chris: It could be a piece of corn, too.
Emily: No, it’s an ass. AN ASS!
At this point we are laughing uncontrollably. And I’m thanking my stars that i got into the habit of taking my camera with me whenever i go anywhere.
You’re not the only one.
Laughing uncontrollably.
And thanking her lucky stars you carry a camera everywhere you go! What’s more, I’d like to shake the hand of the man (or woman) who came up with this punchy piece of ass typography. Wait— I take that back:
I have a pretty good idea where his (or her) fingers have been.
