Metal fence gets revenge

2008 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

My cousin likes a drink and went out one evening with some mates to get utterly wasted, after several hours of heavy drinking he decided to return home via the shortest available route, that is to say across the gardens of the pubs neighbours. All went well until he got several gardens into his trip, when a large and hairy bear of a man charged from his back door wearing some dirty underpants and carrying a kitchen knife. My cousin ran down the garden and jumped to swing one leg over the fence when he realised that it had metal spikes about 8 inches long across the top. he had one leg over the fence when his mate who had accompanied him also hit the fence, caught his shoe laces and began swinging freely, my cousin lost his balance and slipped elegantly onto the fence. He was so drunk that he pulled himself off the spike, returned to his flat and promptly nodded off. When he awoke the next morning he went to the toilet to relieve himself of the evenings alchohol, at this point he noticed blood so he removed his njeans and found the inside bit of the bollock hanging out through a split in the sack, not to mention a hole through his shoe and foot from another spike. At this point he phoned his mum and asked for a lift to the hospital, his mum however had become immune to these calls as he works in a metal work factory and has a habit of calling his mum and telling her he is in hospital when he isnt, he thinks its funny when she rushes there to be told they have no record of him. However when he passed out and hit the floor while on the phone to her she rushed to his flat and had to force the door open. What a div.

Thanks for a great story, Roland. This guy is lucky he hadn't punctured his femoral artery (inner thigh) and bled to death up on that fence.
