He will never enjoy what the rest of us take for granted.
Most women (and men) will look upon him with disgust.
He will never be whole again.

He deserves it because he bought a gun? That makes it funny?

Or is it because men who buy guns are (famously) said to do so to overcome a feeling of inadequacy with their penis size?

Or is it funny because mangled male genitals are funny?
