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.

'A CARNATION?? As in flower?!!"

Better than a can of evaporated milk!

I've taken some pretty big leaks through my urethra ;-)

Hey Vicar, the fish is delicious but the chips taste like s***

Are you the fish friar?

No, I'm the chip monk!

Using the veg-o-matic no doubt. (It slices, it dices! It even does julian fries!)

I'm thinking that if he could do Julian Fries he wouldn't be messing with a potato.

Potato’s have brown eyes ??

Flashlight - rectum

How do you know someone didn't need that flashlight in there to find their way out?

[Squantos]

Potato’s have eyes !

Sayyyyyyy, Doesn’t San Jose proudly display something quite like that?

[CholeraJoe]

There wasn’t anyone holding on to it.

Seems appropriate that the comments for this post are all backed up. Time to break out the plunger.

Right. Everyone I know hangs curtains in the kitchen naked. And they just happen to have potatoes lying around on their kitchen table, to boot.

I believe him....Really....

ROTFLOL!!!!!

i believe him. Of course I also believe in the easter bunny, sants claus, the tooth fairy, and that people who voted for Obama love America.

Was that in Washington State?

That it was. Boeing engineer. The video of one of his, ah, "exploits" is still available on the Interwebs.

I'm awful glad FR is back after a difficult afternoon. Yes, yes, all that stuff about politics and the future of the country and by extension, the entire world, but what I was really interested in was this thread... ;-)
