I dont know where these facts came from (or if they are accurate), but it makes for interesting thoughts when shaking hands with people :D

That sounds about right, I don't see the point in being squeamish about these things it's the natural order of things.

"Annually you will shake hands with 6 men who have recently masterbated and failed to wash their hands"

This disturbed me

"Annually you will shake hands with 11 women who have recently masterbated and failed to wash their hands"

This cheered me up

Penis is a "Hard" noun in Latin which makes the plural penises.

I think that this is a vicious rumour spread by the makers of Marigold gloves to boost sales. I don't need telling - and never leave home without a yellow pair (extra large).:cool:

I am not a get-up-and-go businessman, so I rarely shake hands during the course of my day. I am, however, disturbed by these statistics and my natural response is to masturbate more, in order to gain revenge

Thats something I've been wondering too- is the plural of Elvis Elvii, so does that mean a convention would be known as a group of Elvii.

Thats cause they read those stats and dont want men sniffing their hands afterwards and copping on.

And few people know that the marigold workers stick their flutes in each and every finger.

Actually, for the pure Latin plural, you substitute the -es for the -is (read your own link properly!)

No, but a group of Elvis impersonators could be referred to as "Elves" with some justification ...

Yes, Penes is the correct Latin, however penises is also a valid plural and the one most commonly used by medical professionals.
