John Wayne Bobbitt (born 23 March 1967) is best known because his wife Lorena Bobbitt sliced off his penis on the night of 23 June 1993 with a kitchen knife, thus lending a new and grim meaning to the old expression "whacking off". She drove around with the severed member, throwing it out the window of her car. It was found, and he had his penis reattached. At the time, Bobbitt was a resident of Manassas, Virginia.

Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer (May 21, 1960 – November 28, 1994) was an American serial killer who killed 17 men between 1978 and 1991 (with the majority of the murders occurring in 1991). ...

In the 2005 DVD release of "Frankenpenis", there is a featured extra that displays Bobbitt's erect penis, without special effects, next to a ruler. In the featurette, Bobbitt measures that the total length of his erect penis is 5.5 inches. He then jokingly says that getting married with Lorena shortened it an inch, but the camera adds 10 more.
