A story from Snopes you have to read, though you'll regret doing so for the rest of the week.

It's the same old story you've heard a million times before -- man wants to masturbate in a machine-shop by holding his penis against the canvas drive-belt (!) of a heavy piece of floor machinery, man's scrotum gets caught in the works, man's left testis gets ripped out, man staples his sack together with, well, eight heavy-duty staples (which by the way were rusty), man waits three days before seeking medical treatment that doesn't involve an industrial staple gun.

It's actually worse when you read the clinical medical write up-- I don't know what "avulsed" means, but my use of "context clues" in this sentence...

"His left testis had been avulsed and was missing."

...tells me it's not anything good.

The really surprising thing? That man's name -- Scott McClellan.

Thanks to tmi3rd.
