BELGRADE, Serbia-Montenegro - A Serbian man was so depressed by his family’s dire financial situation that he cut off his penis with an ax, only to regret it afterwards and ask for help, Serbian media said Friday. The 30-year-old from the industrial town of Kragujevac in central Serbia was distraught by what he described as “the poverty and misery” around him, daily Kurir reported. “My wife is sick, and I can’t even buy medicine. My father, mother and I live from my father’s paltry salary,” the man was quoted as saying. “I saw no other way out, grabbed a rusty two-and-a-half-kilo ax, took my penis out, put it on a log and bam!” The sight of blood brought him to his senses, he said. “Only then did I come to and screamed as loudly as I could, realizing I didn’t have it any more,” he was quoted as saying. Neighbors heard his screaming and rushed him to hospital, where doctors sewed his penis back on. “The most important thing is that his tool is back in place. All’s well that ends well,” said doctor Srecko Djordjevic, who performed the operation.

depressed by his family’s dire financial situation that he cut off his penis with an ax,

I'm depressed with liberals so I punched out a hippie.

I guess he thought his family would be better off with one less dick! ;-)

"..measure twice, cut once..err...um..."

[Xenalyte]

You just KNOW he totally regretted it immediately afterward.

Since the guy "saw no other way out," we are to assume that this IS a "way out" of poverty and misery?

[dAnconia]

Yep. I bet that people who jump off of buildings regret it .... for a few seconds.

Glad he got it back. He also needs mental help.

put it on a log and . . .

. . . axed, "Am I logged on?"

Penis chopped-off ping list!

And you were objecting to Birdman being recycled!

Hmmmmm. Could there be alcohol somewhere in this story?

I would say there almost would have to be. Then again, people are weird.

Didn't this guy date Loraina Bobbit at ome time???

There once was a man from Belgrade,
Who removed his manhood with a blade;
But after it was chopped;
And to the ground it had flopped;
He regretted the decision he'd made.

Remember the joke about John Bobbit going to work for Snap-On tools?

[gwbiny2k]

That was pretty good LOL

Man, I've been depressed at points in my life, but it never occurred to me that cutting off my penis could in any way make things better.

On the incredibly remote chance the thought ever comes to my mind, I will be grateful for this guy's lesson: Cutting off your penis will not improve your mood.
