LONDON - A 22-year-old man suffered internal injuries after lighting a small firecracker he had inserted into his buttocks, paramedics said Thursday.
The incident took place Sunday, when Britain celebrated Bonfire Night, traditionally marked with fireworks to celebrate the Guy Fawkes’ gunpowder plot to blow up Parliament in the 17th century.
The man suffered burns and other unspecified internal injuries in the incident in Sunderland, 275 miles north of London.

Ah well, the kid was bored so he stuck a firecracker up his butt to see what would happen. Happens all the time.

I agree. I love the fact that it seems plural. What's proper: "My buttocks DOES hurt?", or "My buttocks DO hurt?"

I bet that scorched squeakhole hair smells really, really bad.
On the upside, he's probably permanently turtled, and so will never reproduce.

How much scotch does one have to consume so that shoving a firecracker up your butt and lighting it seems like a good idea?

According to a BBC report on this incident, the hospital reported that he had a 'scorched colon' which has got to be a somewhat rare diagnosis.

Benny was taking more than fireworks up the arse, it seems.
To: BeHoldAPaleHorse
I've thought about it and maybe this is a good thing. Let these Dems get in and make @$$es out of themselves like we all know they will. Let them do what they will and America will see that they are not the way to go so come 2008 hopefully a Republican will be elected president and in 2010 we will regain power in the house and senate.
To: SES1066
Scorched Colon. That must be REALLY REALLY painful.
I suppose the guy who drank the entire large bottle of Tobasco on a dare at a local restaurant a couple years ago might have gotten this diagnosis the next day.

I don't buy it. I have read several Benny Hill bios - 'Saucy Boy' (by his brother), 'The Strange & Saucy World of Benny Hill' (by his best friend, producer, and director Dennis Kirkland), and the borderline hatchet-job 'Funny, Peculiar' by Mark Lewison.
Each book covers the innuendo of homosexuality when it came to Benny, but each book dismisses it. Best as I can tell, he had a handful of female companions in his life but he had a very immature view of romance. Through his adult years, he really thought it should be like it is in the movies, and was continuously devastated when it never worked out that way.
Benny was basically a loner who definitely liked women, but never could connect with one emotionally for a variety of reasons, and there's no real evidence homosexuality was one of those reasons.
In fact, there is some smoke, and certainly a little fire, that he indulged in sexual romps with some beauties on his show. Evidently a handful came forward over the years that it wasn't unusual for a babe to vanish into Benny's room and 'be nice to Uncle Benny,' usually a euphemism for fellating him.
While these stories surfaced now and then, most of the women who knew and worked with Benny defended him and had extraordinary loyalty to him, though avoiding answering the question if they had ever been nice to Uncle Benny in that way, themselves.
Benny was certainly a loser in love and fairly immature when it came to sex, but I don;t think he was gay, or bisexual for that matter. Benny loved women, he just had a hard time holding up his end of an adult romance. Sad, but not unlike many of the great comedians.
