Root Vegetables, Do They Help You See In The Dark?

[Baldric]

Just seen a recording of an episode of '24 Hours in A & E'

A Guy was brought in with a 'Root Vegetable' stuck in a rather personal part of his anatomy.

His explanation was that he always gardened in the nude, he had fallen over and that's how it got there.

Quote from Surgeon/Consultant(?)
" I might just have believed that had the Vegetable not been peeled"

[ummmm]

Some people are really strange.

[mccfluff]

there are lots of stories like that, people seem to like sticking things in holes.....

[ummmm]

Starts when they're kids and they stick cereal up their nose.

[aelmpvw]

did he take it home for dinner once it was removed?

[Mamyalynne]

Think this got mentioned on one of the threads about the guy with the phones up his bottom - there are some incredible stories about this type of behaviour.

Always have been.

I am surprised by the lack of puns/jokes forthcoming.

Just as an aside, when did Casualty become known as A and E?

[anneasquith]

Many years ago jack. But often it's still referred to as casualty .

[ummmm]

It's been years, Jack, I think they needed to add in 'emergency' to try and deter people turning up with minor things.

[Jackdaw33]

The doctor said, "Well, that's a turnip for the books!"

Must have been a marrowing experience for the poor chap.

Wonder if he swede himself when he realised it was stuck? Or perhaps he couldn't pea.

[Ken4155]

He must have bean embarassed and his pulse must have been shooting through the roof. Or root, as the case may be.

If people like putting things up their bottoms, why don't they buy a *** that won't get stuck up there?
I don't know why they bother lying about it having got up there by falling on it.

[Sqad]

Jack.......isn't it the other way round?
When did A&E become Casualty?

It has been called A&E from as long as i can remember (since 1953) and somewhere along the line Casualty slipped in.

[Ken4155]

Embarrassed has two 'rs' - whereas he only has one and he has something stuck up it.

[Cloverjo]

Blimey, I didn't think that was a rude word.

[Jackdaw33]

Intrigued as to the starred-out word.

[Ken4155]

Was it Dido with a lady inside, clover?

[mccfluff]

i thought it was buttplug...

[aelmpvw]

here's a picture of the unfortunate fellow on his way home from the hospital
