We've all done it, haven't we? Looked longingly at a stainless steel pipe and thought "Hmm, I've got an idea".

But be warned - the consequences of your actions can potentially be quite significant....

The anxious man, aged about 40, gave hospital staff no explanation about how the pipe got stuck after he turned up on Tuesday morning.
He had just stepped out of the shower, slipped and then just happened to fall onto the pipe. Quite understandable really, it happens very frequently.

Yes. He fell so hard that the bathroom cabinet door flew open and a jar of vaseline fell out. It landed the right way up with such force that the lid came off....

Why didn't the A&E staff just make him look at a picture of Margaret Thatcher?

Would have solved the swelling problem and saved a fire brigade call out...

You assume....

Remember that this man did choose to stick his penis in a length of pipe. It's probably not beyond the realms of fantasy to suugest that he gets aroused by strange things. Imagine the A&E staff's faces if it got bigger?



(sorry, I feel that this thread deserves a everytime I post on it. Kudos to Basil for alerting us to it)

Well, I was going to give it a go once to be honest...

But the builder's merchant was fresh out of industrial sized sewer pipe...

It beats getting your big toe stuck up the bath tap.

I think the Telegraph story is better, mainly because the first ad under the article is for the NHS Organ donation register!

From the report

the four-and-a-half-inch grinder
At first glance, I thought perhaps grinder was a new slang term for penis

True but the garden rake jamed up his jacksie might have been more difficult to explain.
