Ah, the strategically placed question mark. In grammatical actuality, a question mark converts a sentence (such as the one in the title of this article) from a simple statement of fact to more of an incredulous query. In this case, the sentence is not INTENDED to claim that I have a nearly footlong cock, but rather introduces the possibility of such a thing and acts as a prelude to investigation of the veracity of the sentence. If you are a more or less completely unknown blogger such as myself, there’s really very little chance that people will pass over the punctuation and make the jump directly to full-scale BELIEF in what the sentence tenuously claims. HOWEVER: if the title sentence were to appear as the caption for a report on a highly respected cable news outlet, such as, just for example purposes here… Fox News, then the less discriminating of their viewers might well think to themselves “Oh, wow, Sean Coincon has an eleven inch penis, and here comes some non-ambiguous reporting to further verify the factoid I’ve ALREADY completely assimilated into my memories and subsequent worldview!”
