An elderly Australian gentleman had to have a fork removed from his [SPOILER]penis
after a failed attempt to achieve some form of sexual gratification :eek:

This whole story seems ridiculous to me. What kind of dining fork is only 10cm long? Surely it must have been a seafood, strawberry or snail fork.

Silly man. Isn’t that why they make [wiener forks](http://www.amazon.com/Romes-Super-Wiener-Chrome-Plated/dp/B00019H5Y4)?

The article calls this “a bizarre sexual mishap”. Yeah, I’d say so. Just what the hell were you SEARCHING for when you came across this?

You really need to start another thread like “Oddest things I’ve seen lately…”
I’d pay cash money to read that.

It’s now difficult to run across anything I now consider _odd_. Ill-advised? Yes! Odd? Well, my bar for that has been set too high.

It was on a mainstream news site in NZ, honest, linked off the front page. I don’t go **looking** for that sort of stuff.
I’ve seen the xray sites with things in rectums (obligatory - _rectum, damn near killed him_), but a urethra is a whole new kettle of fish. I’m hugely grateful that I have never had to be catheterised. And I had the courage to look at a set of _urethral sounds_ in a medical museum, and something shrivelled up - not saying what.
But to lose a fork …

Urethral sounds? Somebody please tell me what that is; I’m afraid to google anything that comes out of this thread. LOL!

[Urethral sound](http://www.hnmmedical.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/w/a/walther_urethral_sounds_01_6.jpg). A safe image, instrument only. They generally come as a kit, in a variety of sizes.
It’s used medically mainly to dilate open a hypertrophied prostate, and allow easier urination. But some men enjoy the fact that it’ll massage the prostate in a different region of the gland from digital anal prostate stimulation.
Hence one of the main reasons for urethral stuffing.

OK, well, while that’s not my cup of tea Barbie heads are considerably less pointed and sharp than a _fork!_
