Okay, there is a more than zero probability of this happening...
And I confide that I kept a straight face.
But after the seminar this evening, I found myself having a conversation about the history of the archaeological/anthropological interest in Phallic Objects.*
With some reference to Payne Knight's The Worship of Priapus and the early collectors who left their objects to the British Museum.
No, really.
*I should perhaps add that the actual seminar consisted of 2 short papers on C20th subjects and had nothing at all about prehistoric objects that might, if you squint them in the right way, be phallic.
