Instant Toaster Soprano

2013 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Looks like a new product warning needs to be added: "Do not place one or more body parts into toaster as it may get stuck and extreme injury may result".

Yes, someone actually did that--with his reproductive organs, no less! The London Fire Brigade would not reveal the name of the Honorable Mention contender, but they did "urge common sense" after the incident, so apparently the man's reproductive organs got stuck in the toaster through his own stupidity and not some unfortunate circumstance.

Definitely Toss: Lacks Excellence
According to the story, this and other issues concerning a lack of thought are surprisingly common. Plus, none of them say Darwin to me. The other moderators may differ. Thanks anyway, and submit again!

Definitely Keep: Honorable Mention
I think the penis-in-a-toaster is worthy of an HM. If the toaster was operational then the victim certainly could have ended up effectively removed from the gene pool. Thanks!

Definitely Keep: Honorable Mention
I will go with Bruce here. It seems that, instead of seeking further enlightenment, SOME people are looking for further animal pleasure. A toaster??? This fellow was lucky indeed!!!!
