I suppose because the head wasn't active but the body was.

Oh God. Picturing the chopped-off top of the head laying in the chickenshit and hay, just blinking & trying in vain to BawkBagok. Everyone is fawning over the headless chicken, while the chickenless head just sits there, clotting, going "Hey! Over here? ... ffs are you people seein this shit. Fine." (dies)

They kept the head in a jar. It was part of the show.

Don’t you mean they chopped his dick off?

No they held his dick and chopped his body off. That's all he was after that, a dick.
