One very unfortunate man recently turned up in the emergency room at Southampton General Hospital in England with his penis stuck in a stainless steel pipe. Medics at the hospital could not get the man's penis out because the pipe had restricted the blood flow and caused the organ to become aroused. yikes!

The local fire and rescue service finally had to be called in and firefighters used a four-and-a-half-inch metal grinder to cut the pipe and free the man's penis. Amazingly, the penis in question was bruised and swollen, but otherwise unharmed.

The heart-wrenchingly delicate operation took about 30 minutes. No word on why or how the man got stuck in the pipe in the first place.

Just be glad this wasn't you.
