A Phallic Symbol
The young lady was nodding her head at what the psychiatrist was telling her, and said, “Yes, I see, Dr. Schmidt. At least, I see everything but one point. The one thing I’m hazy about is this phallic symbol you mentioned. What’s a phallic symbol?”
“A phallic symbol,” said the psychiatrist, “is anything that can be used to represent or symbolize a phallus.”
“But what’s a phallus, doctor?”
The psychiatrist said, “I think I can explain that most clearly by a demonstration.” He stood up, unzipped, and said, “This, my dear, is a phallus.”
“Oh,” said the girl, suddenly comprehending. “I see. You mean it’s like a prick, only smaller.”
