I remember reading an article about this once. Lightbulbs are bad because you can't get a good grip on them with forceps, but the worst was Barbie dolls. They slide in easy headfirst, but when you try to pull them out, the arms raise.

And everyone tries to use the "I slipped in the bathroom" story.

There was a vicar in the UK who showed up with a potato in his rectum and told the ER staff he had been hanging curtains in the nude, slipped off the ladder and landed on a potato on the counter.

One approach for lightbulb removal from the rectum, which can also be applied to some other objects, is the use of two large spoons held together like tongs, such as tablespoons from the hospital cafeteria.  They allow the doc not only to gain a purchase on the object but also provide an opportunity to reduce compression on the bulb during extraction and hopefully prevent breakage.
Don't try it at home  ;-)

It's amusing that a vast number of breathtakingly stupid people automatically assume that everyone else is just as stupid as they are; even people who have spent half their lives involved in intense, oftentimes punishing learning regimens.

This is frequently seen in the cases of homosexuals who get carried away with foreign object insertion as well as with Democrats when they say most anything at all.

Coincidence?  hmmmm....
