Bomb disposal experts were called to a hospital in Gloucester, England after a man told doctors that there was a World War II anti-tank shell lodged inside of him, authorities said.
The item had already been removed by doctors by the time the bomb squad arrived, the spokesperson added, and the EOD confirmed that the shell was "not live" and "therefore not a danger to the public."
The Sun was first to report that the unnamed patient told doctors at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital that he "slipped and fell" on the two-inch-wide artillery shell.
The media outlet reported that the shell was part of his military memorabilia collection.

Depends is Mr. Gerbil was before or after the munitions.

Wonder if he was going to bend over Dover and try to hit Hitler’s Atlantic Wall.

Hang Fire Procedure 1 Point the gun at a safe target for about thirty seconds, and then remove the ammunition. 2 Before removing the round, check whether the bolt is closed correctly. ... 3 Open the chamber while ensuring you don’t expose your body and face to the chamber port.

After 77 years, he thought it was time to have it removed.

The old reliable Bomb beef and bean burrito. Recommended if you know that you’re going to be spending time on a stalled elevator with multiple passengers.

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that probably wasn’t the first time he’s slipped and fell on that same object.
