I think he tried too hard...
Ohhh, THAT type of shell.
I respect the man for not lying about it, at least.
I think that if you show up at the hospital with a shell vanished up your rear, probably one way or another they're gonna figure out that there's a shell up there.
But what if you use the cli?
I'll be here all week
A similar story from 2021: https://www.businessinsider.com/uk-man-wwii-shell-lodged-in-rectum-bomb-squad-called-2021-12
This is not how anyone ever wants to show up on the news, let alone internationally
Clam Lives Matter?
I was on the edge of my seat, wondering, Sea, clam, snail, tortoise, coconut, or secure.
Everyone that said they "dropped a bomb in the toilet" is just a poser. This guy is the real deal.
Don't nobody go in there for 704 million to 1.4 billion years.
He probably thought he had nothing Toulouse trying that
And wanted to do something Nice to himself.
I doubt he was compus mentus, he probably had a few Alés in him
I'm disapointed they didn't mention the calibre. Was it a 50BMG cartridge? A 12.7mm machine gun shell or a 155mm artillery shell?
The team in the operating room found themselves having to extract a “collectible shell nearly 20 centimetres long” (nearly eight inches).
Everyone knows it's a myth that length is important. Women of discerning taste and frenchmen of questionable apetites need girth! ;)
What's the diameter?
"Everything's a dildo if you're horny/brave enough." - man.
That Mario Lemieux sure had a way with words.
He did?
Oh it's not part of the Iron Harvest, this guy was using a dud on himself, meh.
Rectum, hell it killed 'em!
Was reading about this on local news yesterday and it's already here?! Poor lad... Even with our stringent laws regarding patient confidentiality, it's gonna be hard to live it down.
almost as hard as living with unexploded ordinance stuffed in your rectum.
On the plus side, he won't have to literally pay for it for the rest of his natural life. I wonder how much that would cost, in the US.
the same amount it would cost when an unexploded ordinance explodes in your rectum.
an arm and a leg.
Why would they use a shell in his rectum instead of a colonoscope?
Treatment is different in France.
“I slipped in the shower and fell on it.”
Wow he must have felt quite BASHful getting that procedure done
He was Bourne Again!
ZSHit that sounds insane
Should have ctrl+d exit.
My guy is definitely shellshocked after this.
Damn you were fast, I was about to post about this!
Why do I know this?
Here I was ready with a 1000 mollusk jokes, but I'll clam up as it's not that type of shell.
His gas has to be deadly, did he bomb the toilet before going to the hospital? At least he's OK and the doctors now have Somme more war stories to tell about this guy.
Situation was a bit HEATed, I would venture...
This isn’t even the first time someone went to the hospital with an explosive round stuck in their asshole.
