Fork stuck in man's penis after bizarre sexual mishap
Canberra doctors removed a 10-centimetre fork from inside an elderly man's penis after a bizarre sexual mishap.
The 70-year-old arrived at the Canberra Hospital emergency department with a bleeding sexual organ.
He told doctors he had inserted the 10cm dining fork into his urethra almost 12 hours earlier in an attempt to achieve sexual gratification.
But the utensil became stuck.

The fork was not visible but doctors were able to feel it from the outside and X-rays showed its position.
Doctors considered several retrieval options before deciding to pull the fork free using forceps and "copious lubrication" while the patient was under a general anaesthetic.
The elderly patient was then sent home.
The medical emergency was so rare the team of three doctors published the case in The International Journal of Surgery last month.
The paper, titled "An Unusual Urethral Foreign Body", said it was rare to see objects lodged in the lower urinary tract.
It went on to list strange objects found inside other parts of the body, including needles, pencils, wire, allen keys, toothbrushes, light bulbs, thermometers, plants and vegetables, leeches, snakes, cocaine and glue.
"It is apparent that the human mind is uninhibited let alone creative," the authors wrote.
The medical team – Krishanth Naidu, Maurice Mulcahy and Amanda Chung – said the fork case was published to create discussion among the medical fraternity "given the great management challenge faced by the oddity and infrequency with which a fork is encountered in the penile urethra".
The doctors said the motives for inserting objects into the sensitive region were difficult to comprehend.
"The practice manifests primarily during states of pathological masturbation, substance abuse and intoxication and as a result of psychological compounders.
"Autoerotic stimulation with the aid of self-inserted urethral foreign bodies has been existent since time immemorial and have presented an unusual but known presentation to urologists."
They said embarrassed patients usually attempted to retrieve the item themselves, risking urethral injury and foreign body migration.
The real danger was infection leading to death, because ashamed patients often delay medical treatment, they said.
Doctors generally try to avoid surgery in such situations, instead choosing an option that would minimise urothelial trauma and preserve erectile function.
The authors said self-inserted male urethral foreign bodies are rare emergencies that urological and general surgeons face on occasion.
While the insertions are unusual, the paper said "any imaginable object is known to be implicated".

On the piece that the BBC did about this they interviewed a couple of local shopkeepers. One was showing a burn mark on their carpet, but the other was pointing at some loose tiles and flaking paint on her shop front. I reckon her shop has needed a spruce-up for a few years and has found a chance to get it done for free

This was on 1st of September.
Putin visited a school in Kurgan (which was repaired recently) to see how the money was spent. A teacher showed him the interactive white board. 'Students can draw on it using a special pen, or just a finger.' - she said. The president gave it a try and drawed THIS:
When a pupil asked 'What is it?', Putin replied: 'Its a cat - from the rear', causing the class to collpase into giggles.

The trial that Tom Hanks was serving Jury Duty on was declared a mistrial today after a prosecutor in the LA County office got a little star struck and talked to him, a violation of court rules. The case was a domestic violence dispute, and the lawyer had nothing to do with the case, but rules are rules.
Eventually the defendant in the case pleaded no contest to disturbing the peace.

I'll use this thread.
Would you board flight 666 to HEL?
Would you board flight 666 to HEL on Friday the 13th?
For superstitious travelers, that might be tempting fate. But Finnair passengers on AY666 to Helsinki — which has the 3 letter designation HEL — don't seem too bothered. Friday's flight is almost full.
"It has been quite a joke among the pilots" said veteran Finnair pilot Juha-Pekka Keidasto, who will fly the Airbus A320 from Copenhagen to Helsinki. "I'm not a superstitious man. It's only a coincidence for me."

So, I apologise for this link to the Daily Mail and I'll start by saying it's not a particularly funny story...
Dog's aggessive behaviour towards babysitter reveals abuse
If you don't feel like reading it through and spotting the funny, go right down to the end of the story and read the third last "paragraph".

KHAAAAAAAAANN!
I was going to write that when I read the story this morning, but I thought it might be too obvious. After reading the replies above, it apparently isn't.

What the grammatical errors?
"That is fantastic news to us. To know that maybe Finn's ordeal has possibly saved another child's life in the future," said Jordan. "Had our dog not alerted us to the trouble, had my wife's instincts not said we need to make something happen, it could have been Finn that was killed by the babysitter. You never know."

No...
It's at the end. It's after ALL the pictures and ALL the videos. Go up from the end to the third last paragraph (which is really just a single line of text) - assuming the Faily Wail doesn't give you different content because you're not a UK visitor, of course.
Of course it's an infinitessimal payoff for you now, so probably not so funny any more.
What I'm pointing out is funny. If you haven't found a bit that's funny you're not in the right place*.

Let me help a bit :
They say their dog helped protect Finn, but also future children from the wrath of Khan.
