In fact, numerous patents have issued for various types of pillows. U.S. Pat. Des. 237,569, issued to De Rue, discloses a pillow in the shape of female breasts. U.S. Pat.

Despite the number of patents that have issued in this art, none are known which disclose a humorous pillow design having components which resemble a penis.
A pillow design with features that resemble a penis would be welcomed by the novelty items business and those looking for a new, humorous gift to give at bachelor parties, wedding showers or other events. A pillow with a penis member could be creatively designed with indicia for conveying funny messages. Such a pillow would provide a new and welcomed product to the gag-gift industry. As there are no pillows known having these and similar design features, there exist a need for a penis pillow in the gag-gift industry. The instant invention addresses this need by providing a pillow having at least one elongated member and corresponding indicia.
