    Abstract

    A crowd of women walk into a tavern. On getting their ale, one says to the others, "My husband's merchandise is so small that it's the size of a snail, and getting smaller every day." Her friend replies, "Mine's so small that even when stiff, it's only the length of three beans," while a third admits that her little finger is longer than her man's erection.
