As it appeared in this morning’s Globe and Mail > [@](#): > > Gentlemen – get ready to squirm. It’s a story few men can hear without scrunching their faces, crossing their legs and gasping. > A man from Pickering, east of Toronto, returned home to meet his live-in girlfriend early yesterday morning. > The man was fresh from his 46th birthday party with friends, but police say his night was far from over. > Police say the two began to fight, and during the scrap, the woman got a hold of her partner’s testicles and yanked so hard she tore them from his scrotum. > The extent of the damage is unclear. > The man was sent to hospital but there’s no word on whether surgery was successful. > Urologist Philip Klotz says an injury such as this is very rare, especially at the bare hands of another person. > Klotz says it ``must have been one hell of a pull.’’ > The woman was arrested and charged with aggravated assault. > Her bail hearing is scheduled for today. > No names have been released. I’ve got relatives in Pickering. One gave birth without knowing she was pregnant. Others just bought a trailer home. I’m afraid Pickering is becoming a white trash centre in Canada. ---

Oh my lord. This just can’t be good. It says that she ripped the testicles from the scrotum. Huh? Did she make an incision with her fingernails or nearby implament of destruction and then start picking fruit or did she yank so hard that she pulled the boys free from any internal tethers? Apologies for any typos, touch to type with tears in eyes. “The extent of the damage is unclear” Vicitm: Unclear?! My balls are hanging from the coatrack, what’s so unclear about that? ---

jk1245 uncurls from the fetal position just long enough to type. How did she get close enough to do this if they were fighting??? Did he drop trou and begin to slap her with his beanpouch??? This guy has got to learn to prioritize body parts when fighting. _return to curled up, rocking position in corner of room_ ---

[As it turns out](http://news.excite.com/news/r/010829/07/odd-scrotum-dc), the testicles were not torn off. At least, not all the way. > [@](#): > > “They (the injuries) were severe enough that he was in a lot of pain, excruciating pain, and it looked like they were ripped off at one point, but apparently they were not,” a police spokesman said. “They were still attached.” Doesn’t that make you feel better?
