LONDON (Reuters) - A pregnant woman in Mexico gave birth to a healthy baby boy after performing a caesarean section on herself with a kitchen knife, doctors said on Tuesday.

It is thought to be the first known case of a self-inflicted caesarean in which both the mother and baby survived.

The unidentified 40-year-old, who lived in a rural area without electricity, running water or sanitation that was an eight-hour drive from the nearest hospital, performed the operation when she could not deliver the baby naturally.

7. That's nothing

I once performed a coronary bypass on myself with a plastic spork just so that I could save a cab fare.

9. Think you're tough? I frequently

remove my brain tumors with nothing more than a Flo-Bee and a melon scoop.

If I do it for someone else, I do charge for the haircut.



Edit: I can't believe I spell poorly on this silly stuff. Real cancer people, please don't take offense. I am one too, sometimes.

13. You poor heathen, do you not watch for the special Ron-Co

products? The same innovative, wonderful people who offer for us, for this LOW LOW price, such things as The Pocket Fisherman! no bigger than a pocketknife! and if you can catch a fish worth eating, you must commit to making a commercial! and the Hair In a Can! which no one will know you have used, until it rains, but hey, washes right out, plus it's healthy for your scalp! and the Juicer! which is much better than actually eating fruit and veggies!

So, for this low low price, you buy a combination vacuum and hair cutter. You suck someone's hair into the vacuum tube after having set the cutters to a certain level. It will give you the exact perfect mullet, and only two settings needed. I am not kidding.

Maybe it feels good, or something. Kind of like the EPILADY! For this LOW LOW price, if you order RIGHT NOW, We will send you also enough MORPHINE to get through your trial.
