Man, 88, sparks hospital evacuation in France after arriving with a WWI artillery shell stuck in his rectum
The unnamed senior citizen arrived at the Hospital Sainte Musse in Toulon, southern France on Saturday evening in the hope of having the artillery shell dislodged from his anus.
Sometimes patients can be a right pain in the a**e, but at least in this case it didn't get blown up out of all proportion otherwise the s**t really would have hit the fan. I suspect he may have sat on this for some time before deciding to go to hospital.

Once it was dislodged from the man's rectum, doctors measured the shell at 8in long (20cm) and more than 2in wide (5cm). The incident took place at Hospital Sainte Musse in Toulon, southern France, on Saturday evening
His arrival sparked a bomb scare as hospital officials feared the antique explosive would detonate, French news organisation Var-Matin reported. However, bomb disposal experts determined that there was little risk of the shell exploding inside the man.
It is understood that the man had inserted it in his bottom for sexual pleasure.
A spokesperson for Hospital Sainte Musse said: 'An emergency occurred from 9pm to 11.30pm on Saturday that required the intervention of bomb disposal personnel, the evacuation of adult and pediatric emergencies as well as the diversion of incoming emergencies.'
In what must have been a painful procedure for the elderly man, doctors were able to remove the shell after making an incision.
Once it was dislodged from the man's rectum, doctors measured the shell at 8in long (20cm) and more than 2in wide (5cm).
The hospital spokesperson said the man was recovering well and was in 'good health'.
The most amazeballs side to this tale is that the chap is 88 years old & is still indulging in perverted sexual fantasies.
Incred.
There are so many people in this country that dislike the French with a passion. I therefore fully expect a much older British person, to turn up at A&E before very long, with a longer, fatter, more explosive shell stuck up his bum. Just to get one over on the French. Visiting A&E could become very dangerous. Although in this country you could be sat on it for quite some time, if you were waiting for an ambulance

I guess so. As long as it doesn't become compulsory.
