FIGHT OR FLIGHT: CLASSICAL DAVID’S PISELLO

fight or flight

via reddit.com

David was getting ready to fight Goliath. It was fight or flight time.

Look at that face. The face of fear. The face of, “Oh no, now what? I’ve got a sling and a rock.”

It’s like the old adage: Don’t bring a knife to a gun fight.

He knows he’s up against it. Life or death.

So why do researchers use the David penis when they talk about size?

From theage.com.au:

One of the most intriguing, if least openly discussed, mysteries in art has been resolved.

Michelangelo’s David is meant to be a representation in marble of the perfect male form. So why did his creator not make him – how would one say – a little better endowed?

Speaking for all Davids on earth, stop staring at the junk.

It’s a sculpture in marble. That ought to be enough. Stone. Rock. The guy has better gear than any other named statue.

Is there a statue of Joe? Frank? Jimmy?

There’s a statue of Rocky in Philadelphia wearing shorts and no one questions the Italian Stallion.

David gets all the grief.

Look, he was spooked. He had a lot of pressure in the moment.

For a modern interpretation we need to review Seinfeld, The Shrinkage.
