DARWIN MAN PUTS HIS WORKS IN A SPANNER
Fire brigade officers were forced to use bolt cutters to free a Darwin man's penis from a 19mm ring spanner, officals confirmed yesterday.
The man arrived at the Royal Darwin Hospital on Monday night, a police spokesman said. The man had apparently spent several hours at home trying to free himself, but was unable to due to increasing swelling.
After several fruitless attempts to free himself from the vice-like hold of the spanner, doctors turned to the Casuarina Fire Brigade for help. By this stage the swelling of the man's member was so extreme that a fire brigade officer was forced to use bolt cutters to hack the spanner off. Police say the man was not seriously injured in the incident, but the spanner was a complete write off. A fire brigade officer, who declined to be named, said yesterday that the fire officer who wielded the bolt cutters had been given a new nickname....Lord of the Rings.
Not quite a Darwin award but maybe an honourable mention???
