A local man is recovering in hospital after nailing his testicle to a roof.
The unnamed 40-year old man from Abingdon was tiling a roof when he accidentally put a nail through his left testicle with an air-pressurized nailgun. Unable to remove the nail, and with no-one else around, he had no option but wait and shout in agony for help, which arrived five minutes later when a passer-by rang for an ambulance.
The man is said to be recovering well in hospital, though it is not known whether he will remain fertile.

Sounds as though he made a complete balls-up of the job.Ferenc wrote:From the Oxford Mail the other day:

Poor guy!
mind you he was disobeying all the H&S rules -there are supposed to ALWAYS be 2 people if there is a ladder involved, and as he was on the roof......
Anyhow - at least he is on the mend - and he still has the other testicle to be possibly fertile with - that is if he was fertile in the first place - sadly the male population are losing their fertility at a greater rate than expected, and that isn't the population getting older - it's the teenagers - and new 20's.. I think it was some horrendous figure of 25% lower fertility rate than 10 years ago - makes you wonder what Labor have put in the water!

I'm sure this story is similar to a Darwin Award winner.
The Darwin Awards salute the improvement of the human genome by honoring those who remove themselves from it in really stupid ways.
Based on a bet by the other members of his threesome, Everitt Sanchez tried to wash his own "balls" in a ball washer at the local golf course. Proving once again that beer and testosterone are a bad mix, Sanchez managed to straddle the ball washer and dangle his scrotum in the machine. Much to his dismay, one of his buddies upped the ante by spinning the crank on the machine with Sanchez's scrotum in place, thus wedging them solidly in the mechanism. Sanchez, who immediately passed his threshold of pain, collapsed and tumbled from his perch. Unfortunately for Sanchez, the height of the ball washer was more than a foot higher off the ground than his testicles are in a normal stance, and the scrotum was the weakest link. Sanchez's scrotum was ripped open during the fall, and one testicle was plucked from him forever and remained in the ball washer, while the other testicle was compressed and flattened as it was pulled between the housing of the washer, and the rotating machinery inside. To add insult to injury, Sanchez broke a new $300 driver that he had just purchased from the pro shop, and was using to balance himself. Sanchez was rushed to the hospital for surgery, and the remaining three some were asked to leave the course. This last one wouldn't normally count, because the idiot didn't die. But because he cannot reproduce as a result of his qualifying act of stupidity, we have allowed it.
