    A responsible owner will cover medical expenses. FYI, think Iā€™m starting to feel a tooth ache.

    You know, the Leader is saying exactly what Plato's Philosopher-King would say, though far less succinctly.

    It's "sic em." ā€” T Clark
    No it's not. See lesson 5.
    YourLeaderSapientia

    I guess "sick him" is an alternative spelling used by high falutin leaders and such, i.e. by my betters.

    No, it is you that is sick...you need help, and not in the way you think.

    In ancient Greece, the birthplace of philosophy, a small penis was seen as better than a large penis. Janus was being positive.Michael

    Yes, that could well be true; which means YourLeaderSapienta has not acquired control even over himself; he is a helpless victim of modern body image ideals. ( Perhaps he watches too much porn). If he could only accept his small dick and be comfortable in his own skin, then he would no longer feel the need to imagine that he controls, and is superior to, others. His "regime" is a sad joke, and everyone is laughing about it but him.

    The professor said the ancient Greeks thought that a big penis was comic--Wikipedia says 'grotesque'. Of course, this insight is based on damned little recorded gossip by the ancient Greeks which would reveal what they really thought. They did seem to prefer small dicks on sculptures. On the other hand, the Greeks employed phallus sculpture as part of the cult of Hermes in his function as a fertility god. (As opposed to Hermes Psychopomps). The phallus sculptures were sometimes quite large.

    There is a reference to a shortage of dildos in Lysistrata -- the war seems to have interrupted the supply. Aristophanes didn't say how large the dildos were. There is also a joke about erections visible through clothing--the sex strike by the women had left the men very horny. Presumably their actual dicks were big enough to be noticeable under a robe. "It's not the heat, it's the tumidity" is the modern version of the joke.
