He’s a [copycat](http://www.well.com/user/cynsa/bulb.html) bulb holder. And both cases involve alcohol. I see a pattern: “Woe unto him who uses intoxicants! For Allah will cause large, breakable objects to be stuck up his bum, for Allah is wise, and His chastisement is beyond our imagining.” ---

[QUOTE=lieu] Well, thanks to _The Pink Panther_ movies, we know what it sounded like when it popped out. [/QUOTE] If I’d been drinking anything, you’d owe me a new keyboard and moniter! 😃 Am I the only one who’s thinking that this is what happens when Uncle Fester goes to prison? Yeah, I probably am. 🙂 ---

[QUOTE=Chez Guevara] It’s dark in there. You’re not going to see anything unless you switch the light on. [/QUOTE] Dude, I’m NOT pulling that string. ---

[QUOTE=A.R. Cane] The age old question: Does the light go out when you shut the sphincter? **I think it was in the 60’s a small book came out** , titled “Everything you always wanted to know about sex, but were afraid to ask?” It had that same anecdote which was attributed to an ER doc. In that case it was a gay guy and his lover had been experimenting. I think the author was Philip Roth although I failed to find it through Google. [/QUOTE] Bolding mine. Um. That’s all, really. When did this book first get inserted? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/not-the-brightest-idea-pakistani-man-found-with-lightbulb/362724.md?page=1)
