He couldn’t get chopsticks out of his head — and we’re not talking about the piano tune.
A man in Vietnam who had experienced severe headaches for five months was flabbergasted after discovering that he had a pair of chopsticks lodged in his skull. The unnamed 35-year-old patient had reported to the Cuba Friendship Hospital in Dong Hoi on November 25th after suffering from the aforementioned headaches as well as fluid discharge and fluid loss, The Metro reported.
There, doctors conducted CT scans, which revealed that the man was suffering from tension pneumocephalus, a rare but potentially life-threatening neurological condition defined by a dangerous increase in intracranial pressure. A subsequent examination revealed the unusual source of the man’s symptoms: a pair of chopsticks that had reportedly penetrated up his nose and into his brain.

“..I says to the waiter; “You walk like you got a stick up your a**!” It was just a joke. The Waiter snatched my beer and threw it in my face, and hit me with the empty glass. So we started fightin’ next to the Sushi Table. I pulled his toupee off.
Next thing you know, I’m pushed out of the restaurant, their front door slamming behind me. Nobody apologizing. My new dress shirt was soaked and stained brown from the dark ale!

How drunk do you have to be to get into a fight and not remember getting chopsticks stabbed up your nose?

I thought this story was going to be about an Eastern medicine version of a forceps baby.
