In recognition of the shock and awe both we and our readers continue to experience regarding ‘the package,’ the Daily Babylon style guide is being amended such that the male organ in general may now be referred to as a cheney , lower-case.

The editorial staff believes that legitimate wonders of the world deserve to be memorialized, and indeed that this situation is a prime example of need meeting opportunity. Indeed, others may in fact have already done the same thing, coined the same term, maybe even in another language. Su cheney es grande? Ideas work that way. We salute them if they have.

We also realize that some people think Cheney is a bad word, a perjorative, if you will, and we find that a shame. There are many names throughout history that became poisoned because one bad apple ruined it for everyone else. We all have our lists. Does anyone remember Jerome Hitler, who, in the winter of 1936 saved a family of 8 from drowning in a canal near the village of Lutzelbourg in the Alsace Lorraine region? Not after 1940, they don’t, and that’s exactly our point. The other idiot ruined it for Jerome. Even the family of 8 stopped calling! So this is just our small way of making sure that no Cheneys suffer the same cruel fate of history and that they remain proud of their name for generations to come.

Vive le cheney!
