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.

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.

The anxious man, aged about 40, gave hospital staff no explanation about how the pipe got stuck after he turned up on Tuesday morning.

A Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said: "Initially the crew did not have the appropriate cutting equipment to free the man.

"It was a very delicate operation that required a very steady hand and the crew was worried about things getting too hot during the cutting.

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

Mmmm, my son is a plumber - I'd better warn him to be careful. Just in case he's on his hands & knees working and has forgotten to put his kecks on that morning.

The staff ...

"could not get the man's penis out ... because ... it had become aroused"

Soooo ... "finish him off" ... and then he stops being aroused

(at least for long enough to get the pipe off!)

Well, it's better than calling the Fire Brigade.

... speaking of which, was this from an episode of Trumpton ???

I think I have told the (anonymised) story on here of one of our local landladies who attended casualty with a pool ball stuck up her.... u'know. Apparently she had got a little amorous on the pool table with one of her regulars and, well, use your imagination.

Unfortunately her other regulars were not so discreet & word soon got around about her potting the pink. In the end, it all got too much for the poor woman and she left the town.

At what point does is seem like a good idea to let someone put a pool ball up your winkie?

Jelly babies, okay, or strawberries ... but a pool ball ???

[ChuckFickens]

Jelly Babies???

Okkkkaaaayyy!

[Bbbananas]

I suppose it's only a (larger) version of those japanese love balls or whatever they are (so I've heard....) She had had 5 children, so I suppose the capacity was there? Or so she thought....

Jelly babies??

uh, fried or scrambled?

[moonraker558]

The moral of the story is..Never put a square peg in to a round hole..........Dont ask me what that's got to do with it.
