Bomb squad called to ER after 88-year-old man arrives with WWI artillery shell in his anus

Doctors in France have had to remove a World War I bomb from the rectum of an 88-year-old man, French outlet Var-Matin reports.

According to the news site, the anonymous senior went to Hospital Sainte Musse in Toulon to remove the 8-inch artillery shell from his anus, which he had placed inside him for pleasure.

Doctors at the hospital were not just concerned about the medical needs of the senior but also that the explosive could detonate in the hospital. However, it was quickly determined that the risk of an explosion was minimal.

A spokesperson for Hospital Sainte Musse told the Daily Mail that the incident last Saturday required the "intervention of bomb disposal personnel, the evacuation of adult and pediatric emergencies, as well as the diversion of incoming emergencies."

According to the Mail, the bomb was commonly used by the French military in the early 1900s and is now a collector's item from World War I.

2. There's a Seinfeld episode about this.

Cosmo Kramer : Have you ever met a proctologist? Well, they usually have a very good sense of humor. You meet a proctologist at a party, don't walk away. Plant yourself there, because you will hear the funniest stories you've ever heard. See, no one wants to admit to them that they stuck something up there. Never! It's always an accident. Every proctologist story ends in the same way: "It was a million to one shot, Doc. Million to one!"

-- The Fusilli Jerry (1995)

If I recall, the episode ends with George's father accidentally falling on a small statue and getting it stuck in his ass.

10. Not to me.

5. Wait. What?

The man masturbated with a bomb up his butt?

Was he expecting an explosive orgasm?

Geez, people can be really strange.

7. In Private Benjamin, didn't Goldie Hawn say that her husband came and went at the same time?

8. I find it strange that it was an 88-year-old guy.

I'm 58 and slowing down a lot! Don't we stop needing sexual gratification at some point?

6. The guy was just trying to get off with a bang.

9. So, I did some quick math to check the possibility that it was a war injury

That a German shell flew up his ass but didn't explode.

But 2023 - 88 = 1935, and the Great War ended in 1918.

So, no.

11. Whew,

I thought it was going to be another FloriduhMan thing..
