Nice to know the Romans were capable of childish, smutty graffiti as well as us!

 Too D**n modern for me :D
Them Egyptians was carving willies on rocks from 36oo BC....Oh, and they had condoms by 1000 BC.
I think I'm too young to know why some of them had weeny little shells and bits of rough stone stuck on them, right?
As an addendum:
1. Sometimes, embalming went wrong, and the penis was replaced by a gherkin inside a sewn up piece of sheep gut, so that the deceased could perform in the afterlife;
and
2) When Tutankhamun's mummy was found, Tut, liked many others was mummified with his penis erect....Someone's going to ask why - I just know it.
Anyway, on re-examination un 1972, the organ was missing, leading to Scotland's Daily Record having the following headline.....
"Who's been silly
with King Tut's willy".
