Pakistani Prisoner has Sensitive Surgery

Link

Every once in awhile, you come up with a story you don't know how to cover. Does it go under "Humor"? "Current Events"? And, how, frankly, do you retain a PG rating while still hitting all the sordid details. I'll give it my best shot.

During the run of "Seinfeld", an episode was devoted to the question of how people come to the hospital with items inserted in...uh, sensitive regions, and how they explain that to the doctors. They came up with the thought that it was the same comment: "It was a one-in-a-million shot, doc...honest!". And we've all heard stories of beleaguered hamsters who have sacrificed their lives to the fetishes of the perverse, sometimes with explosive results. Such tales must certainly keep the researchers at Snopes.com hopping, as they are as prolific as they are bizarre.

Now Yahoo! News regales us with the tale of a Pakistani prisoner who reported to the infirmary with a light bulb that had been inserted in his rear end. The light bulb was intact, and doctors had to work to keep it intact, otherwise the surgery could have been complicated. The prisoner swears, of course, that he had no idea how the light bulb got there...a one-in-a-million shot, I guess.

I am sure your own imaginations can go further with the story than I could take you, so I'll leave you with just the facts...and hope that you haven't just eaten!
