Man Cuts His Testicles Off

(Wales, UK) A 31-year-old Welsh rugby fan, Geoffrey Huish, is finally speaking of the bizarre incident where he cut off his testicles with a pair of blunt wire cutters. It took an agonizing ten minutes.

From Ananova.com:

Then he put his severed parts in a blue plastic bag and staggered to a social club to tell fellow Wales fans what he'd done.

Jobless Geoffrey finally collapsed with blood pouring from his groin as horrified drinkers put his testicles in a pint glass of ice.

They were handed to paramedics who rushed him to hospital - but surgeons could not sew them back.

Geoffrey, of Senghenydd, spent several months in a psychiatric unit as experts tried to fathom his actions.

He said: "I'd told my pal Gethin Probert before the game that Wales didn't stand a chance. It wasn't a bet, but I said I'd cut my balls off if we won...

"So I started hacking away at my tackle. It took about ten minutes and there was quite a lot of pain -- but I just kept going.

"The cutters were blunt so I had to keep snipping. I cut my penis as well. There was a lot of blood but not as much as you would expect."

I've heard that a man is only as good as his word. Geoffrey Huish is a man who kept his word and, as a result, came out less of a man. Pretty screwy logic, I'd say.
