An Austrian roofer who slipped on the job ended up nailing himself to the roof - through his wedding tackle.
According to Ananova, 59-year-old August Voegl of Jennersdorf "shot the four-inch nail into his left testicle with the compressed air nail gun" and was thereafter "unable to extract it or pull himself away from the roof".
It was left to emergency medics to separate Voegl from the building and, after being whisked to hospital by air ambulance, he's reportedly "recovering well" following surgery. ®

On the bright side, he wasn't about to fall off the roof.

It's Bush's fault. Notice it was an attack on the LEFT testicle. Karl Rove is an evil genius.

"Careful with the puns, or the mods will get teste." You know that tack-y puns are a staple around here. At first I thought it might be difficult to tastefully pun about some guy getting shafted like this, but now I think I've got it in the bag. From the description of the injuries, it sounds like the guy's ability to do any nailing in the future might be severely inhibited.
