Nut job!!

I just read the following story in The Star today. How desperate can one get? IMO the headline should read as "Welder's plan to screw got screwed" :)

Welder`s love plans unscrewed
By MEERA VIJAYAN

JOHOR BARU: A welder who tried to elongate his penis with a nut found himself in a pickle when the nut got stuck after he had an erection.
The victim, from Taman Sri Skudai, had apparently been trying to increase the length of his penis ahead of his engagement next week when disaster struck.

t is learnt that the incident occurred on Thursday and the 20-something-year-old victim went to the Sultanah Aminah Hospital here to seek treatment when he was unable to get the nut off himself.
Unfortunately, hospital authorities were at a loss and had to call the Fire and Rescue Department for assistance.
A department spokesman confirmed that they received a call from the hospital yesterday, and sent seven firemen to help out.
They, too, were unable to remove the nut.
At press time, the nut was still firmly attached to the base of the man's genitals.
This is the second case in the past week involving objects stuck on penises. On Aug 25, firemen were summoned to the University Malaya Medical Centre in Kuala Lumpur to cut a steel ring from a patient's penis after numerous attempts by doctors failed to dislodge it. It is believed the patient, in his 20s, had slipped the ring onto his penis to increase his sexual prowess."

I think anyone silly enough to resort to such measures either has a disastrously small member or a pea sized brain. Maybe more of the latter.

I also wonder as to how well trained our public sector doctors are since they had to call the fire department for help in dealing with such a small matter (no pun intended). Or maybe the steel ring actually worked so well that a scalpel couldn't do the work and they needed an axe. :)
