Egyptian man cuts off his own penis after family won't let him marry lower class girl

CAIRO (AP) — A 25-year-old Egyptian man cut off his own penis to spite his family after he was refused permission to marry a girl from a lower class family, police reported Sunday. After unsuccessfully petitioning his father for two years to marry the girl, the man heated up a knife and sliced off his reproductive organ, said a police official. The young man came from a prominent family in the southern Egyptian province of Qena, one of Egypt's poorest and most conservative areas that is also home to the famed ancient Egyptian ruins of Luxor. The man was rushed to the hospital but doctors were unable to reattach the severed member, the official added citing the police report filed after the incident. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak with the press, added that the man was still recovering in the hospital. Traditionally, marriages in these conservative part of southern Egypt are between similar social classes and often within the same extended families — and are rarely for love.

No John Wayne Bobbit redux story here. And to think Obama wants to change our medical care industry to something more similar to what Egypt has.

You think that's bad (and it is....being a male and all)??

52% of the voters in this country cut off their collective....er.....members when they pulled the lever for obammer.

And just like this (former)guy in India....it ain't gonna grow back!

Have to come up with a new euphaism for “cutting one’s own nose of to spite one’s face”

I had a friend, this is true, who cut off his own penis. He was using some kind of power saw that he dropped in his lap. He was able to be surgically reattached and now has five kids. When I went to see him in the hospital, he said “hi” in this real high feminine voice. His first child was born a year later.

Latest word is that Gauguin cut off Van Gogh’s ear.

I feel queasy...and a little frightened of power tools at the moment.
