AT LEAST AN HM

old winters are nothing new in Russia - but
STUFF SNIPPED.
Normally one of the
warmest Russian
regions, it is now an
unheard-of -30C.
Unused to the effects
of that kind of cold on
metal and skin, the
man was taken by
surprise when he
answered a call of
nature outdoors on his
way home from a bar.
Standing by a bus
shelter for support, he inadvertently swayed at
a crucial moment - and his most sensitive part
stuck to the frozen metal.
A large crowd gathered, shouting helpful
suggestions.
Finally a passing rescue worker, Valery
Levchenko, was able to free the man using a
kettle of warm water borrowed from a nearby
chemist.
Deeply embarrassed, the young man
apparently refused further medical help before
running off.
It is not known whether he suffered any
permanent damage - other than to his pride. Submitted on 01/09/2003
