      "Why can't things just be shaped like dicks?"

      That question was posted by someone on Reddit, in response to the news that the Toronto Transit Commission had removed a chuckle-inducing map at its Downsview Station.

      You see, the map of bus stops at the subway station was penile in shape, because that's how the station is laid out. 

      After all, "Ride the Rocket" is a beloved TTC slogan. 

      “We are in the process of replacing it. The TTC is sensitive to anyone who may have been offended by the phallic shape of the map, which is why we are replacing it,” TTC spokesperson Jessica Martin said in an email sent to the National Post.

      Meanwhile, another Reddit user shared the following map of the Newmarket Health Centre, north of Toronto.

      Who says architects don't have a sense of humour? I'm sure they're happy someone finally got the joke.
