another shrimp on the barbie

Some years ago there was a story going around that made anyone who heard it squirm uncomfortably.
The story was that a couple visited some friends for a barbeque lunch. As the friends were not quite ready, the visiting couple were left to their own devices for a few minutes. Seeing the barbeque in the backyard, the male visitor dropped his trousers (as one does) pulled out his penis, and calling out "anyone for a sausage?" carefully placed it on the hotplate.
Unfortunately the host had already preheated the hotplate.
Worse than this, the penis stuck, and had to be removed from the hotplate with a spatula.
A friend of mine was in hospital at this time so I asked him to question the staff about this episode. He was told by staff that it was true, the victim had been in that very same hospital several weeks previously.
Possibly it's an urban legend but it's certainly made me more careful around hot barbeques, especially when running around naked like we all do when serving food. What? Don't you?
Does it deserve a Darwin Award? Probably not, but it doesn't miss out by much...
The hospital in question is the Maroondah Hospital, Melbourne, Australia and this occured about 8-10 years ago. Submitted on 06/26/2002
