Well, I might agree with that, but now it occurs to me that it takes a bit longer
to cut and paste these stories than it does to comment on it.

A man who went to casualty with his penis stuck in a steel pipe had to be cut free by firefighters using a metal grinder
Published: 12:49PM GMT 07 Jan 2010
Medics at Southampton General Hospital could not get the man's penis out of the stainless steel pipe because the restricted blood flow had caused it to become aroused.
So they called in Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service.
The firefighters used the four-and-a-half-inch grinder to cut the pipe from around the man's penis and it took about 30 minutes.
The patient was given an anaesthetic and his penis was left bruised and swollen but otherwise unharmed.
The anxious man aged about 40 gave hospital staff no explanation about how the pipe got stuck after he turned up on Tuesday morning.
A Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said: ''Initially the crew did not have the appropriate cutting equipment to free the man.
''It was a very delicate operation that required a very steady hand and the crew was worried about things getting too hot during the cutting.
''It's certainly an unusual call-out and I'm sure the man won't be getting into that situation again.''
