Man in Southampton has penis removed from pipe

posted in Weird News |

OK, on the trail of bizarre news, we came across this little gem

The story is summarised as follows, originally printed in The Telegraph

Apparently this guy turned up at Southampton General Hospital, with his penis stuck fast in a stainless steel pipe. Staff could do nothing with it, since the loss of blood flow ’caused him to be aroused’ making removal impossible.

The quick-thinking staff called the Fire Service, and it took 7 firefighters armed with a 4½” grinder a blistering 30 minutes to cut the pipe away from the afflicted patient.

The guy is said to have no permanent damage, just a bit of swelling and bruising.

The only dampener on the story is, the guy never explained the story behind his predicament….. but I think we can hazard a guess !!

I don’t think I fancy a metal grinder so close to my assets, and the heat it would generate has to be a mite uncomfortable….. but then I’m not really one for sticking my manhood into metal pipes in the first place.

Having a background in the Health Service, I have heard stories of this type of thing, but this is the first confirmed version I have come across. Please feel free to email us with any bizarre stories you come across (though we will require a supporting link before we can publish).

There are several advantages to shopping online, the first one being the ability to shop at a time that is convenient to you, not just when the shops are open. The second advantage of shopping online is that goods are often cheaper as the seller does not have the costs of running a shop and having to pay wages to salespeople, insurance and all of the other running costs of a real world business.

One of the benefits of shopping online is that it helps consumer saves time. This suits the current lifestyle of most people who are rather busy and have difficulty finding time doing all their shopping at physical stores. With online shopping, they can cut down on their traveling time. Furthermore, if the product they want is not available in the physical store, they need to go to another store to find it. With shopping online, all these inconvenience can be avoided.

There are some guidelines that will make your online toy shopping go a lot easier. While you will most likely find varied opinions, you’ll probably see an overall positive or negative consensus on a particular toy or brand.
