It's a whole different ball game

A Welsh rugby fan cut off his own testicles to celebrate Wales beating England at rugby, the Daily Mirror has reported.

Geoff Huish, 26, was so convinced England would win Saturday's match he told fellow drinkers at a social club, "If Wales win I'll cut my balls off", the paper said on Tuesday.

Friends at the club in Caerphilly, south Wales, thought he was joking.

But after the game Huish went home, severed his testicles with a knife, and walked 200 metres back to the bar with the testicles to show the shocked drinkers what he had done.

My personal favourite observation was: "He lifted the kilt up to show everyone what he had done. There was blood everywhere, it was terrible. That's when he collapsed."

Huish was taken to hospital where he remained in a seriously ill condition, the paper said. Apparantly, the police told the paper he had a history of mental problems.

Really?

Bringing sense and sobriety to the whole sorry saga, Dr Ian Banks, of the Men's Health Forum said: "This is a horrific injury. There are so many veins down there, I'm surprised he didn't bleed to death."

And just in case you cared, Wales beat England 11-9 at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. It was their first home win in 12 years...
