This is NOT fiction - I've been to Bhutan and I've seen this with my own eyes, but when I read it I laughed out-loud - hope you enjoy it as well - here's the quote:




"A few miles out of Thimphu, I encounter my first penises. Alarmingly lifelike, painted on the side of a house. There would be more penises, many more. Colorful penises. Monochromatic ones. Large ones, small ones. Penises dangling from rafters of a building, others swinging from the end of a bar like party favors. I say something to the effect of, "What's up with the penises, Tashi?"

Tashi explains that they are designed to ward off evil spirits. As the owner of a penis myself, I can think of no body part less qualified to ward off evil spirits than the penis. Penises stray and are notoriously unreliable. They are vulnerable to injury and do not always rise to the occasion. Indeed, if anything, penises tend to attract evil, not repel it. Better, I think, the Bhutanese use wooden thumbs or toes or elbows - anything, for God's sake, except penises.
