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. ®

I can only assume he abandoned this method of self-gratification.
One can hope. Whew! LOL funny!

I just can't believe nobody's mentioned the problem with this story, the thing that makes it so unbelievable. Based upon the recent history of Austrian foreign policy, I thought it certain someone would point out that
Austrians HAVE NO BALLS.

This is truly a penile offense. He must have been prostate with grief afterward.

I hope his health care provider offered him a package deal. Although the injuries were at first considered wife threatening, he's been given his discharge, but warned that he wouldn't be feeling any stiffness for a while.

Wow, I'll bet that felt below-average.

Next time I smack my finger with a hammer, I'll remember this dude and realize that life isn't so bad after all.
