Alexander Von Testicle is just not that funny


What is so funny about Alexander Von Testicle? Ok, I get it, he was the first person to sail from Russia to the Virgin Islands.* The Virgin Islands. Ha, ha. These islands never had sex. Yeah, great. These islands still have their hymen. That doesn't even make sense to say about an island.


But it's like everytime I mention that I wrote my undergrad thesis on Alexander Von Testicle, its chuckle, chuckle, chuckle. I worked hard writing about Alexaner Von-Testicle. There is not a lot of scholarship on Alexander Von Testicle. Alexander Von Testicle is an important, but largely looked over historical figure. But, everytime I try to discuss my work on Alexander Von Testicle and mention that he sailed to the Virgin Islands, I can't get a word in edge-wise over the uproar.


Look, folks, Alexander Von Testicle is just not that funny. Show some respect and restraint and maybe you'll learn and thing or two about Alexander Von Testicle.

*Among his other significant accomplishments, maritime historians generally credit Alexander Von Testicle with the invention of the girthy wind shaft, a wooden support used to prevent sails from tearing in windstorms, and the cock box, which was used throughout the 18th Century to help sailors more efficiently transport large quantities of livestock.
