The case left doctors shell shocked.
A French hospital was partially evacuated Saturday after a senior citizen arrived with a World War I artillery shell lodged in his rectum.
The 88-year-old patient visited Hospital Sainte Musse in Toulon to have the antique explosive removed — but instead sparked a “bomb scare,” French publication Var-Matin reported.
“An emergency occurred from 9 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. on Saturday evening that required the intervention of bomb disposal personnel, the evacuation of adult and pediatric emergencies as well as the diversion of incoming emergencies,” a hospital spokesperson stated.
“We had to manage the risk in a reactive framework,” the rep added. “When in doubt, we took all the precautions.”
Bomb disposal experts at the scene determined there was little possibility the shell would explode inside the man.
“They reassured us by telling us that it was a collector’s item from the First World War, used by the French military,” the hospital stated.
Stunned doctors subsequently began the process of trying to remove the object — which measured almost 8 inches long and more than 2 inches wide — from the man’s rectum.
It’s believed the pervy patient inserted the item up his anus for sexual pleasure.
“An apple, a mango or even a can of shaving foam, we are used to finding unusual objects inserted where they shouldn’t be,” one doctor declared. “But a shell? Never!”

One of the local radio stations read a story about the exact same thing happening in England several years ago. Inserting artillery shells up the yazoo must be a thing amongst that sub-culture.
Archie had it right!
For years people have said they need to be isolated they are not sane.
That’s FR. Come for the news, stay for the comments.
Omigosh! People — I presume mostly male? — put the darnedest things where the sun don’t shine. When the urge hits, they must grab the closest thing to them.
The shell had his name on it.
Was there a fan nearby? Would’ve been a good time...
No primer. It is inert.
“ No primer. It is inert.”
Are you talking about Paul Pelosi or his hammer?
If he got it in there why couldn’t he get it out?
Of course it’s inert. It would be crazy to stick a live artillery shell up there.
It might be more thrilling to use live ammo. ;-D
I’ll bet his azz really appreciated it.
Hmmm looks like the primer is missing.🤨
I heard the joke about forty years ago but for years I've tried to remember it. I guess this story is good enough to get that punchline in if you word it right.
Did you hear about the old French guy who got a WWI artillery shell lodged in his...?something like that.
uh, whut?
I had *no* *idea* that South Park had covered that song.
