Pensioner finds burglar with testicles impaled on broken window

A pensioner found a burglar with his testicles impaled on a broken window in her bathroom.

When the man screamed he was dying, Joyce Edwards replied: "Good."

The 80-year-old had been woken by noises from the bathroom of her home in Crowthorne, Berkshire.

When she went to check, she saw the man dangling on shards of glass in his groin, says The Sun.

She said: "He cried out to me, "I'm dying, please help me". But I was so cross I shouted back "Good" and ran out of the house."

The pensioner alerted neighbours who called police and an ambulance. It's believed the man may have lost four pints of blood.

He was treated in hospital, but medics refused to say whether he had lost either of his testicles.

A 35-year-old man from Finchampstead, Berkshire, was later arrested and charged.

Potential Darwin candidate, then...

More specifically, he will never have the balls to do that again.

With luck, he'll lack the balls to break into anyone elses home in the future.

Don't forget that this is England. The old woman will probably be arrested and sentenced for assaulting the intruder.

Home vasectomy practiced in someone else's home is almost never a good idea.

The perp was later discovered to be an employee of Gillette.

I guess Joyce Edwards can now look forward to being sued. The perp will claim that his sex life was ruined by her carelessness.

Why do so many of these stories seem to come from the English press?

Given this is the UK, I'll predict she'll be arrested for saying "Good" and he'll be able to sue her successfully.
He'll put the ball back in her court.

Due to restrictions on gun ownership, Brits are reduced to buying extra-fragile windows as a means of home defense.
