Patient having op on backside breaks wind, causing fire
A Danish man having surgery on his backside broke wind and set his genitals alight.
A surgeon was removing a mole on his backside with an electric knife when the man broke wind, lighting a spark.
His genitals had been washed with surgical spirits and caught fire.
He's suing the hospital for pain and suffering and loss of income.
He says he had to take extra time off work and can't have sex with his wife. The hospital says it was an unfortunate accident.
"When I woke up, my penis and scrotum were burning like hell," the man told Danish Newspaper BT.
Surgeon Dr Jorn Kristensen said: "No-one considered the possibility the man would break wind during the operation, let alone that it would catch fire. It was an unfortunate accident."
The 30-year-old patient said: "I've had to be booked off work for longer than expected and, besides the pain, I can't have sex with my wife."
The operation which was being carried out at the Kjellerups hospital, was aborted immediately after the accident.
Reports says it's unlikely the doctor will face disciplinary action.

For the record & my pride, I did not learn of this skill until after I said 'I do'. His family is from North Georgia near the Alabama line. I guess "gas heat" means different things in different places.
LOL! You think you know someone, eh? Then you go and marry them and find out how wrong you were...
Oh - of course it was a man - goodness knows women don't fart. They just blame it on the dog - the cat - a squeaky floorboard.....
Of course, a true artist can adjust the pressure of the flow to go all the way from a faint rumble to a full-crescendo sonic blast. They will also vary the the resistance level between said buttcheecks and furniture to vary the pitch as well. I had a friend in college who thought farts were the funniest thing in the world. I would say he was (sadly) a virtuoso.
(Okay, if you really stop to think about it, farts are funny. I mean, anybody seen Blazing Saddles??)
"More beans, Mr Taggart?"
"I'd say you've had enough!
LOL!!!!!!!

It's really true. You can buy anything imaginable in this country!
That should read "...Chet's nuts roasting on an open fire..."
At least he wasn't flying on an airplane.
