Firemen free penis stuck in metal pipe using metal grinder!

[clippedgull]

Medics at Southampton General Hospital struggled to get the man's penis out of the stainless steel pipe, because the restricted blood flow had caused it to become erect.

Instead, they resorted called in Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service.

The fire crew turned up with a special equipment unit from St Mary's station in Southampton and seven firefighters to help, in what a spokesman understatedly described as a 'delicate operation'.

The firefighters used the four-and-a-half-inch industrial metal grinder to cut the pipe from around the anaesthetised man's penis.

The penis was left bruised and swollen, but otherwise unharmed by its traumatic day.

The man, thought to be aged around 40, did not explain to hospital staff how exactly the pipe got stuck around his penis, after he presented himself at the hospital's Accident & Emergency department on Tuesday morning. He was said to be 'quite concerned and anxious'.

A Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said: '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.'

Watch manager Greg Garrett from the Redbridge fire station told the Southampton daily Echo: 'I’ve only come across this type of thing three or four times in my 17 years as a firefighter. It’s not a daily occurrence.'

was it the same bloke for the 3 or 4 times?

 

[El Turi]

So is that the real reason for Pardew's sacking?

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

What a prick!

Don't suppose his name was Rod?

Every time the adverts come on it's 'Who Killed the F*ing Zutons', I'm not buying it on principle.

At what point does that become an attractive option?

Didn't know Barry Lloyd had moved to Southampton...

Good god I lead a sheltered life

Good god I lead a sheltered life

If not sticking your old man in the exhaust of a Range Rover is evidence of a sheltered existence, then give me a warden, meals on wheels, a handrail in the bathroom and a panic button...

This really does beg for a caption competition, I'll take a swipe:

The manager of the MOT centre had to readvertise the position of Emissions Tester after the first candidate didn't quite work out.

It's all a bit of a cock-up.
