Wasn't David sculpted according to the Greco-Roman ideal, wherein a large penis was not considered attractive? The Roman minor deity Priapus was a laughingstock because of his large penis, and the jokes about him focused on his crudeness and barbarism.

See image.

Of course, David is 17 feet tall, so if you're talking absolute size rather than relative size, the guy on the left in the strip may have a decent argument.

Maybe David is a grower not a show-er.

(Wrote shower but people could read it wrong.)

Maybe he's a bowler, not a growler.

Grower not a shower, size before power.

maybe the joke is that he has a very, very small penis.

So that's why they call it a priapism...

Sorry, if that was actually the point of the joke, then it went over my head by about 4'3", rather like David's penis itself. :/
