The clergyman, in his 50s, told nurses he had been hanging curtains when he fell backwards on to his kitchen table.
He happened to be nude at the time of the mishap, said the vicar, who insisted he had not been playing a sex game.
The vicar had to undergo a delicate operation to extract the vegetable, one of a range of odd items medics in Sheffield have had to remove from people's backsides or genitals.
Others include a can of deodorant, a cucumber, a Russian doll – and a carnation.

Yeah, it could have been a lot worse. He could have fallen on a cactus, a palm tree or the Vegas Luxor Hotel Pyramid. Who knows what other ordinary items the good vicar might have had on his kitchen table?
The Sheffield hospital personnel could have been quite busy, picking a whole field of potatoes.
At the risk of admitting that I read this thread out of a sense of morbid curiousity, I think they were referencing the mimushka dolls where a series of progressively smaller dolls are nested inside a larger doll. Those would be the only dolls that I would recognize as distinctly russian.
A buddy of mine is an anesthesiologist. He was on call a couple weeks ago, and tells me they removed a large Kong toy, inserted big end first. I have no reason to doubt him, he’s not the kind to tell tall tales. And I think he just sees a lot of weird stuff, working at a hospital.
“It was almost impossible to keep a straight face”.
Do you mean she actually did keep a straight face? How?
Maybe they meant those russian nesting dolls shaped like eggs in which there are numerous smaller dolls each inside the next larger one.
Take 2 gerbils and come back in 3 months.
Happened right outside of Nodnol, didn’t it?
I love that joke.
Gunner, when did you join the clergy?

One could see where if one were hanging curtains in the nude and happened to fall onto a matryoshka doll, tragedy could ensue.

This original last verse of Big Rock Candy Mountain will forever change your thoughts of the song:
McClintock published the original words, the last stanza of which was:
The punk rolled up his big blue eyes
And said to the jocker, “Sandy,
I’ve hiked and hiked and wandered too,
But I ain’t seen any candy.
I’ve hiked and hiked till my feet are sore
And I’ll be damned if I hike any more
To be buggered sore like a hobo’s whore
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.”

I said don’t ask...
Should I add you to the Red Dwarf ping list?
Can of Carnation evaporated milk.
Please.
Some people must get gratification from it, although it seems to be a lot less common than the practice of putting things up the bum. Perhaps it's a mental illness.
I knew a gynecologist who had to operate on a woman's bladder to remove a leek that she had stuck all the way up the urethra. It had been in the bladder for so long, it had calcified and basically turned to stone.
