Vicar went to hospital with potato stuck in bottom.

[Crunchy Frog]

The clergyman, in his 50s, told nurses he had been hanging curtains when he fell backwards on to his kitchen table.

He happened to be nude at the time of the mishap, said the vicar, who insisted he had not been playing a sex game.

The vicar had to undergo a delicate operation to extract the vegetable, one of a range of odd items medics in Sheffield have had to remove from people's backsides or genitals.

Others include a can of deodorant, a cucumber, a Russian doll – and a carnation.

Or was it the apse?


Maybe the pew in the back?

[The Doctor.]

30. Well... It was obviously behind the organ.

Duh.

[Crunchy Frog]

4. I think there's some important lessons in this for all of us.

She advised anyone tempted to use such objects in sex games to think again.

"It can be very dangerous and potentially life-threatening," she said.

"Surgery can lead to infection, nasty scarring, and it could possibly end up with the person having to use a colostomy bag as a result."

[BrklynLiberal]

5. ROTFLMAO!!!!!

[Crunchy Frog]

6. Careful, that can be dangerous. Better heed the lessons of this story.

[The Doctor.]

31. "Doctor, I was reading DU and laughed so hard I fell backwards...

His name is 'Gir', he doesn't bite.'

[lightningandsnow]

[begin_within]

22. Hee hee. You love this thread, don't you.

[DS1]

24. Just a wee bit

[Deja Q]

10. Carnation? How would a breakfast drink help?

[ZombieHorde]

12. Better potatoes than kids.

[underpants]

13. There wasn't a deer involved

every lame excuse I have ever heard (auto at 3 AM) seems to have a deer in the story

[supernova]

14. How soon before this is a Little Britain sketch?

:D

[JVS]

15. Who hangs curtains in the buff? Someone could see you naked.

[Sanity Claws]

19. Maybe that's the point.

[JVS]

23. What a pev! Exposing himself through the window and then cramming potatoes!

[begin_within]

21. Was the potato a consenting adult?

[DS1]

27. Either way, his friends will never call him by his old nickname Starchsky again

:7

[Canuckistanian]

25. "hanging the curtains"

Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

[mwooldri]

28. Only in the Church of England now...

:evilgrin:

Cue Vicar of Dibley...

[grasswire]

29. sounds like an old E.R fable to me

I heard one once about the woman who had shaved off HALF of her pubic hair because she was told that the way to get rid of crabs was to shave thus and then try to catch them as they jumped from the hairy side to the shaved side.

[Mark Baker]

32. They always have "fallen backwards"

and seem to expect that anyone will believe it.

[Skittles]

33. yup

:rofl:

[Tripper11]

34. One in a million doc....

George: So, did you get your new plates?

Kramer: Oh...yeah. I got my new plates. But they mixed them up. Somebody

got mine and I got their *vanity* plates.

George: What do they say?

Kramer: Assman.

Jerry: Assman?

Kramer: Yeah. Assman, Jerry. I'm Cosmo Kramer, the Assman!

Jerry: Who would order a license plate that says "Assman"?

George: Maybe they're Wilt Chamberlain's.

Jerry: It doesn't have to be someone who gets a lot of women. It could be

just some guy with a big ass.

Kramer: Yeah, or it could be a proctologist.

Jerry: Yeah. Proctologist.

George: Come on! No doctor would put that on his car.

Kramer: Have you ever *met* a proctologist? Well, they usually have a very

good sense of humor. You meet a proctologist at a party, don't walk away.

*Plant* yourself there, because you will hear the funniest stories you've

ever heard. See, no one wants to admit to them that they *stuck* something

up there. Never! It's always an accident. Every proctologist story ends in

the same way: "It was a million to one shot, Doc. Million to one."

[buzzycrumbhunger]

35. I transcribe this shit all the time

Trust me--a potato is nothing. My favorites are the repeat offenders. :eyes:

[Heidi]

[LiberalEsto]

40. Raw or baked?

And if baked, butter or sour cream?

[DarkTirade]

42. That's a silly question. If there had been butter it would have been easy to get out.

:P
