Is That a Fire-Extinguisher in Your Pocket?

(Coventry, England) You'll find it hard to avoid chuckling at this story. In summary, a man named Dick faced the sack by fire-extinguisher employer Chubbs for having an erection.

From The Sun:

Salesman Richard Carter fears he's facing the sack -- after struggling with a seven-year erection.

Richard, 34, developed the rare condition priapism after taking panic attack medication.

It left his manhood almost constantly stiff and he needed eight hospital operations to reduce it.

Richard's bulge also left him in agony as he drove vans selling fire extinguishers for Chubbs.

He was forced to take so much time off that bosses have told him they may need to "reassess" whether he can still work for them as an on-the-road salesman.

After eight operations, Carter's condition has improved and Chubbs may find him an alternative job. Since Carter put his junk up for slicing and dicing eight times, I think he deserves some special consideration, maybe a medal from the Queen or something. And, frankly, I wonder what the National Health Service (NHS) doctors were doing that required eight sessions with scalpels. Jeez, you'd think they were doing piecework.
