A Polish man who had his tongue removed has had a new one made using tissue taken from his buttocks.
Jarislav Ernst, 23, from Gliwice, now has a functioning tongue made from his backside after surgery at the Oncology Clinic in Gliwice's General Hospital.
Head doctor Stanislaw Poltorek said: "The new tongue is alive and well-supplied with blood, and the patient is doing well."
Mr Ernst's tongue was removed after it was diagnosed with cancer.
Dr Poltorek added: "We removed the tumour-filled tongue, checking that there were no remaining cancerous cells around the patient's mouth, then collected skin, fat and nerve tissue from the man's buttocks and modelled that into a new tongue, which we sewed into his mouth."
Tongue in cheek ping!
I'm not touching this with a Ten-Foot Pole.
Now he can kiss his own ass.
New meaning to the term "ass-breath"?
French kiss it, even.
No, that' tongue OF cheek.
Inexplicable pottymouth ping.
Man. I bet he can talk some $heit.
He can kiss his own ass from now on. No more need to ask others.
Everything tastes like a$$.

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.
Okay, I understand the need for a tongue and I am sorry the man had cancer. Why on Earth are they telling people about it?? If I have anything on my body made out of my own ass (other then my ass, of course) NOBODY is ever going to know!
Polish scientists, ever at the forefront of innovation. Butts into tongues! What will they think of next?
That's so when his boss is chewing his butt out, he can bite his tongue, and effectively get it from both ends...
A chunk of the butt being called up into the big leagues. And to think some said that ass would never amount to anything. Whose getting the last laugh (literally) now.
Finally, the first oratator actually qualified to tell you about your ass. "I remember staring bleakly into that porcelain bowl yet again wondering what it would actually be like to express ones self beyond the occasionaly butt-trumpeting. Now, I'm calling the shots and people listen to me!
And best of all, food tastes much better on this end."
Bwahahahahahaha!
LMAO!!
Why stop at butts? Lunch ladies all across the nation could provide tongues for the masses.
