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.

He probably slipped because of all the lubricant.

There are internet sites dedicated to x-rays of the wacky things people have had lodged in their several nether orifices . . . always by falling on them.
