BANJUL (Reuters) - A 28-year-old man accused of stealing a man's penis through sorcery was beaten to death in the West African country of Gambia on Thursday, police said.

A police spokesman told Reuters that Baba Jallow was killed by about 10 people in the town of Serekunda, nine miles from the capital Banjul.

Reports of penis snatching are not uncommon in West Africa, with purported victims claiming that alleged sorcerers simply touched them to make their genitals shrink or disappear in order to extort cash in the promise of a cure.

The police spokesman said many men in Serekunda were now afraid to shake hands, and he urged people not to believe reports of "vanishing" genitals. Belief in sorcery is widespread in West Africa.

Seven alleged penis snatchers were beaten to death by angry mobs in Ghana in 1997.

I wasn't sure I could say penis. I know I can't say ****.

I remember seeing a similar articl some half year ago. Wierd.

And you all talk about how the africans have 'large' penises, when they apparently have such small ones that they need excuses like these

Perhaps MrFun has finally found his vocation in life

Well, Viagra is way too expensive for most African men, so what're ya gonna do when the dog won't wag? It's alwats nice to have a scapegoat.

Is there a relationship between this and the E-mails I get about "enlarge your penis" and "I'm a guy from Nigeria who inherited a large sum of money. Please help me smuggle the money out - what is your bank account number?"

off topic, but I just bursted into tears that almost made my poo come out to the chair I'm sitting in. I just received an e-mail that said 'worried about your pensions?' and I read 'worried about your penis extensions?'.. I read it couple of times like that, I just couldn't believe it.

[SlowwHand]

Are you worried about your penis extension? Is it not what was advertised?
Was it bought over the internet?
Can you get a refund?

[Pekka]

NAaaagh no! I don't mean no refunds, I mean I read the topic wrong.. several times. And I bursted into tears because I was laughing .

I think it's not necessary to remind that I'm blessed!

If I were you I would be scared from a letter that said: "worried about your poo coming out on the chair you're sitting on?"

[Pekka]

Siro, . Every person knows the feeling when you desperately need to go on number two and you couch too hard or laugh or whatever... **** happens!
