Man's penis removed from pipe
A man who went to casualty with his penis stuck in a steel pipe had to be cut free by firefighters using a metal grinder.

Published: 12:49PM GMT 07 Jan 2010


Medics at Southampton General Hospital could not get the man's penis out of the stainless steel pipe because the restricted blood flow had caused it to become aroused.

So they called in Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service.

They turned up with a special equipment unit from St Mary's station in Southampton and seven firefighters to help in what a spokesman said was a ''delicate operation''.

The firefighters used the four-and-a-half-inch grinder to cut the pipe from around the man's penis and it took about 30 minutes.

The patient was given an anaesthetic and his penis was left bruised and swollen but otherwise unharmed. ............(more)

1. What shitty reporting.

They forgot one of the Ws: WHY?

[DJ13]

3. WHY?

You dont want to know.

[HopeHoops]

2. Useless without pics.

On second thought, skip the pics - too much information.

4. Actual journalism at the Torygraph

is a rare commodity. Are they taking cues from 'Sir' Ruprecht Morlock's Sun?

5. There is a reason why real sex toys are made out of flexible materials.

Sheesh!

[anarch]

6. what I want to know is

how the hell you cut through a pipe with a grinder...



must have been some seriously stale bread.

[mikeytherat]

8. Or maybe cutting a "grinder" with a grinder?

7. They get in the darnedest things!

[Doctor_J]

9. Should have just shown the poor guy a pic of Ann Coulter

that would've shrunk it up quickly.

[TicketyBoo]

10. I wouldn't count on this.

''It's certainly an unusual call-out and I'm sure the man won't be getting into that situation again.''

If he was dumb enough to do it once, no guarantees, I would think.

11. Thing must've crawled in that pipe when the owner wasn't watching.

Happens to all of us now and then.

13. A wee bit confused by "lay some pipe" was he?

[marmar]

16. ROFL !!!!

My keyboard is covered in that crappy coffee from the breakroom !!!! :rofl:

[Solly Mack]

20. Sorry

about the crappy coffee :)

[Lance_Boyle]

14. Can't you just heat the pipe with a torch to expand the metal and... oh. Nevermind.

15. This fellow with his fellow stuck in a pipe deserves an award.

17. Astroglide. n/t

19. Amazing the weird places those things wind up in.

[LeftishBrit]

21. Blimey

I believe that in the 1950s. fashion for young people included 'drainpipe trousers' - but I don't think that even then it was intended that literally!

[lpbk2713]

22. They should have showed him a life size pic of Coultergeist.

That would have shrunk him down considerably. :eyes:

[ddeclue]

23. So THAT's what they mean by "laying pipe"...

:rofl:

:evilgrin:

:P

[jmowreader]

24. Why did it take a grinder to get it off?

A guy dumb enough to use a piece of stainless steel pipe as an artificial vagina is dumb enough to believe anything you tell him, so you take one look at the man's situation, shake your head ruefully and explain you're going to have to amputate his penis to save his life. By the time you're done shaving, cleaning and prepping his privates, his pecker will have shrunk up so small he'll never find it again.

[RaleighNCDUer]

25. LOL

[guitar man]

26. Shit

Just throw a bucket of ice cold water on him and be done with it. That's what we used to do when the dogs were hung up out in the yard. :rofl:

[Z_I_Peevey]

27. If the grinder had been wielded

by David Letterman's Grinder Girl, the poor fellow might never have been freed.

[tomm2thumbs]

28. I've heard 'hole is hole', but this is pretty out there

[bulloney]

29. Somebody probably told the man to lay some pipe. And he did.
