LONDON (Reuters) - A Welsh rugby fan cut off his own testicles to celebrate Wales beating England at rugby, the Daily Mirror reported Tuesday.

Geoff Huish, 26, was so convinced England would win Saturday's match he told fellow drinkers at a social club, "If Wales win I'll cut my balls off," the paper said.
Friends at the club in Caerphilly, south Wales, thought he was joking.
But after the game Huish went home, severed his testicles with a knife, and walked 200 yards back to the bar with the testicles to show the shocked drinkers what he had done.
Huish was taken to hospital where he remained in serious condition, the paper said.
Wales's 11-9 victory over England at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff was their first home win over England in 12 years.
Crazy AND drunk.
This goes way beyond "Hold muh beer . . . "
That's Ballsy!
Wow. Instead of taking "one for the team"... he took two!!
Please tell me first that this nimrod doesn't have any children and then tell me that the attempt to reattach them was unsuccessful.
Sometimes it's OK to weasel out of a bet. This was one of those times.
Need a judge's ruling on this...is there a special Darwin award category for someone who removes himself from the gene pool without killing himself?
Very Funny !
Err...Ping!
Actually, as long as he hasn't yet fathered any children, he's completely eligible. The Darwin Awards only stipulate that you remove yourself from the gene pool, not that you have to die (though that IS the most common method).
He'll regret that later.
There once was a drunk from Caerphilly
Who's nuts he did bet willy-nilly
The team they did choke
And he proved it's joke
Now his balls in a jar oh so silly
I'd say so.
