Bomb squad called to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital after man gets WWII mortar stuck up his bottom

Yah, that's the actual headline:




The bomb squad was called to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital on Thursday (December 2), after a patient was admitted with a mortar shell stuck in his rectum.

Troops from 11 Explosive Ordnance Disposal Regiment rushed to the Gloucester hospital after being notified by police "that a patient had presented with a munition in his rectum."

The man was a military enthusiast who found the shell while clearing out, but somehow "tripped" and fell onto the 57mm piece of army ordnance that landed him in hospital, according to The Sun.

Said he slipped and fell on the shell- That's his story and he's sticking to it

A vicar claims a potato got stuck up his bottom after he fell on to the vegetable while hanging curtains in the nude.


The clergyman, in his 50s, told medical staff at Sheffield’s Northern General Hospital that the accident was definitely not due to a sex game.He had to undergo surgery to extract the spud from his backside, according to The Sun.A&E nurse Trudi Watson said: ‘He explained to me, quite sincerely, he had been hanging curtains naked in he kitchen when he fell backwards on to the kitchen table and on to a potato.’But it’s not for me to question his story.’

And of course, since he has no curtains up, this job must be done in the nude.

Sure.

Nurse Trudi Watson - Don't you believe it!
This man is an exhibitionist and a kinky vegetable enthusiast!

He had a colonoscopy bag after that. So accidents do happen.

I sat on a cactus as a four year old while attempting to walk over it.

These things do happen.
