The case left doctors shell shocked.
A French hospital was partially evacuated Saturday after a senior citizen arrived with a World War I artillery shell lodged in his rectum.
The 88-year-old patient visited Hospital Sainte Musse in Toulon to have the antique explosive removed — but instead sparked a “bomb scare,” French publication Var-Matin reported.
“An emergency occurred from 9 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. on Saturday evening that required the intervention of bomb disposal personnel, the evacuation of adult and pediatric emergencies as well as the diversion of incoming emergencies,” a hospital spokesperson stated.
“We had to manage the risk in a reactive framework,” the rep added. “When in doubt, we took all the precautions.”
Bomb disposal experts at the scene determined there was little possibility the shell would explode inside the man.
“They reassured us by telling us that it was a collector’s item from the First World War, used by the French military,” the hospital stated.
Stunned doctors subsequently began the process of trying to remove the object — which measured almost 8 inches long and more than 2 inches wide — from the man’s rectum.
It’s believed the pervy patient inserted the item up his anus for sexual pleasure.
“An apple, a mango or even a can of shaving foam, we are used to finding unusual objects inserted where they shouldn’t be,” one doctor declared. “But a shell? Never!”

Good thing Paul Pelosi’s hammer wasn’t there , that sucker might have gone boom.
LMAO!
No doubt he was stationed in the rear!
When I read the headline I would have sworn this was a Bee article. I was sadly wrong.
I’ve heard of “sh*ttin’ bullets” but this has gone too far. It would make a good “wildly popular” toilet paper commercial though with a bunch of feminazis braggin’ about “poopin” on TV.
That is my all-time favorite joke. They I tell it the boy who tells the story to his teacher is “Young Tom Edison.” That way, my version has educational content for the listener
ER workers maintain lists of things they find “in there.”
Um, WHUT?
No primer.
I am here just for the witty comments

Did you mean WITTY or something else?
He outdid Richard Gere!
Did the guy walk into the ER with that thing stuck in his backside?
88 year old patient? Viva Viagra I guess...
When I worked in gastroenterology, we had to send ANYTHING we pulled out to the lab for identification...dentures (they usually took the long route), vibrators (some still humming along), batteries, spoons, vegetables...one time even a large fishing hook (guy inserted the hook to “catch” the item he had inserted...hook lodged in the rectal wall...item passed out on it’s own accord, guy passed from loss of blood before getting to ER).
That’s just nasty! 😮
From reading the headline, I thought he got shot in the ass during WW1. Then I broke a Free Republic tradition and read the article.
His doctors are shell shocked.
Must have been an AP round.
