Tight nuts

Whenever my hometown of Newport, South Wales is ever mentioned in the news, it's rarely for anything positive. At least we can get a good laugh out of this one.

Warning: this is one of those medical tales...

A man was admitted to the Royal Gwent Hospital in the early hours after getting his genitals stuck in, of all things, a ring spanner.

Firefighters were called to the hospital in order to separate the tools from each other. Needless to say our guy won't be able to look at nuts and bolts in the same way again.

We haven't had a "genitals stuck" sort of story in a while, and getting the stuck in a spanner/wrench is a new one to me. I can only imagine how delicate a job it was to cut him free. Thanks, Chris!
