I want to know who was thinking "concrete enema, now that sounds like a real fresh feeling!"

Live artillery shells? Concrete? Knives and screwdrivers? If people are stupid enough to shove stuff like this up their asses, they deserve whatever they get. Stop pulling it back out when some moron gets it stuck in their butt. Darwin must be spinning in his grave over this defiance of natural selection.

Sir,
In an attempt to ease his constipation, a 64-year-old man had inserted a microwave egg boiler (MEB) into his rectum. This is an egg-shaped device -- 11 cm in diameter at its widest point -- with a rim at the base, and in two halves that can be joined firmly together. Unfortunately, the MEB rather exacerbated his constipation and he presented to us several hours later.

Digital manipulation, bed rest and analgesia failed to relieve the problem and so he was listed for extraction of the MEB under general anaesthesia. He was placed in the lithotomy position and attmpts at manual extraciton were made. When these failed, two spong forceps and then two Blacks tissue forceps were attached to the rim at the MEB base; traction was applied combined with periabdominal pressure from the anaesthetist. This succeeded only in rotating the MEB about its longitudinal axis, partly as a result of its widest diameter being wedged above the ischial spines and partly because the base was impacting on the rectal valves.

After a period of quiet contemplation, a pair of Wrigley's obstetric forceps were ordered from the labour ward. These were inserted around the egg as around the head of a baby, traction was applied along the pelvic curve and the MEB was 'delivered' with aplomb. Our patient suffered no further problems and indeed opened his bowels before discharge, his constipation cured.

This is not the first use of obstetric forceps to remove rectal foreign bodies (MacDonald, 1961; Burre, 1969; Peet, 1976; Busch and Starling, 1986), but it illustrates the need for versatility among surgeons in the face of an ever-increasing array of modern-day obstacles.

My question is: Why whould a grown 64 year old man isert an egg boiler into his ass (unless he had a severe case of dementia)?_______
"Two percent of the population think; three percent of the population think they think, and 95 percent of the population would rather die than think."

Perhaps he was looking for more brownie points. Or he was bored to death and wanted something to do.

Wait, we're talking about an old man and an egg boiler. In that case, how did he get it in there in the first place. I've got one of those egg boilers and they're huge!
