David Chalian's Face

OMG. I'm watching CNN and they showed an interview with this young woman who Eric Swalwell sent an unsolicited image of his genitals. Chalian's reaction was priceless.

1. Someone please explain to me why some men think anyone would want a photo of their junk.

It's the electronic version of flashing and it's gross, no different from some rando on the street opening his raincoat to display his "wares."

... of an incident described to me years ago by a friend who was accosted by just such a pervert.
The guy opened his coat and asked her, "Hey, honey! do ya know what this is?"
She replied, "It looks like a dick, only smaller."
The perv left in a hurry.

I have never tried this (I SWEAR IT) but I would expect the same stone-faced reaction.

9. How to become mayor of Portland

Good ol' Bud Clark.

"Expose Yourself to Art" was the name of a poster which featured Bud Clark, future mayor of Portland, Oregon, seen flashing a bronze nude sculpture. The poster, and Clark himself—at the time a bar owner in Goose Hollow—became widely known.
. . .
The photo was taken by Mike Ryerson in 1978, then a staff member of The Northwest Neighbor. Ryerson and Clark originally intended to create a poster for the Venereal Disease Action Council until a reader submitted the caption "expose yourself to art".[3] With $500 (equivalent to $2,500 in 2025), Ryerson printed 800 posters, which he sold for one dollar each (equivalent to $4.94 in 2025) from a booth at Waterfront Park. By 1984, the year Clark was elected mayor, Ryerson had sold more than 250,000 posters,[2] with profits supporting The Northwest Neighbor.[3]

Practically empty bus and exposed himself to me. I didn’t say a word and went up to the driver and told him. The driver stopped the bus got up and threw this guy off physically. I said to the exposed as he was being thrown off “why’d you show it to me it’s really small” The bus driver burst out laughing and the few other people on the bus were also laughing. Everytime I’d see the bus driver after that we laugh together!

They're in love with their own junk, and assume everyone else who sees it will be, too.
Yeah I know - go figure.

I was chatting with a guy who said he was consuming an energy drink. He asked if I wanted to see. I said sure. He sent me a doc pic!!! He laughed and said the drink was behind his penis. I blocked him.

A guy takes a nude photo of himself but only the bottom print is received in the mail.

Do ya remember snail mail?

Recipient immediately recognizes him.
