The Fable of the Football and the Groin

@augustus One day, the Football and the Groin had an argument to see who is better.
The Football said, "I am bigger and rounder than you, thus I am better."
The groin said, "Ah, but we are two, and we believe in strength in numbers"
They could not reach a conclusion, and thus asked a passing donkey to decide.
The donkey said, "I know not about balls, but what I am good at is kicking them." The groin shriveled up ashamed!

@hakui and in that moment the groin was euphoric, not for any phony donkey's blessing, but because he was enlightened

@augustus Gutei showed his phallus whenever he was asked a question about Zen. A boy attendant began to imitate him in this way. When anyone asked the boy what his master had preached about, the boy would show his phallus.
Gutei heard about the boy's mischief. He seized him and cut off his phallus. The boy cried and ran away. Gutei called and stopped him. When the boy turned his head to Gutei, Gutei showed his own phallus. In that instant the boy was enlightened.
