It started out as a stupid, "He said, she said," joke.
My former roommate, Chris, and I were watching football one afternoon and the play ended up about six inches short of a first-down. We were rooting for opposite teams. He was an Ohio State fan, and I am a Michigan Alum, so naturally, it was a rivalry made in heaven.
Michigan ended up short on the play and the announcer stated that running back ended up about 6 inches short of the first down. I made the comment, 'that's what she said.'
It was at that point that Chris called me out... "Dude, I can't believe you said that. That's 'still' the lamest joke ever."
I told him to fuck off - that I thought it was funny.
At that point, we were both way too many shots and beers to be making any comments like that.
"Alright," he said. "Let's see who has the biggest cock. Whoever has the shortest has to blow the other."
"You're an idiot," I said. "You're willing to risk having to suck my dick over a stupid joke? Alright asshole, let's see what you got!"
I was sure I was right. I'd seen Chris naked a few times going into and out of the shower. After all, we shared a two-bedroom, one bath apartment. I knew for a fact that I was bigger than him. But I was curious to see how far he would take it.
It was classic dick measuring time. I told him to get a tape measure - then added, "You had better make it a yard-stick and a magnifying glass."
Not that either of us thought the other was serious, but just for fun, he went to his bedroom to find a tape measure. I thought, what the hell, so I went to my room and got my Swiss Army knife, which had a small magnifying lens. While I was there, I took the opportunity to remove my shorts and underwear.
With the game playing in the background, I walked out. To my surprise, Chris was also standing there naked from the waist down. When we saw each other, we both busted out laughing.
"You're serious aren't you," I joked.
"Hell yes," he said. "I know you've got me beat, but I just want to see by how much."
