What's the joke? This guy obviously had a medically necessary device ~

I think it's more commonly the case that women find such things necessary after giving birth, particularly if they have a 3rd or 4th degre episiotomy.

This guy obviously had a medically necessary device ~

Are you diagnosing him based on assumptions, or has this been acknowledged in the news-media and I've just missed it?

During questioning, Al-Maliki said the objects in his rectum were used to alleviate stress, federal law enforcement sources said.

The rock, authorities said he told them, was from another planet. (The Associated Press, by the way, writes that it may have been a magnet.)
