Good news, it’s a suppository.

Edit: I just saw the article and the author’s own joke is the best actually.

In another context, their form is obviously a lingam; and we all know Michelangelo loved the lingam.

Lingam is a devotionary shape associated with Shiva that looks like this, and also a dick.
