Drunk wins bet, loses penis

[Lunar Loops]

Talk about erectile dysfunction.....well actually don't, that was merely a rhetorical statement. Reminds me of the story of the Welsh Rugby fan who cut off his own balls when Wales beat England (as he had said as much to a friend before the game, thinking Wales had no chance). Mind you he was sober and performed the deed with blunt wire cutters (it took him around ten minutes).....are you sitting comfortably male readers?

Anyway, this from TheAge.com (Aus) :

Drunk wins bet, loses penis
July 21, 2006 - 10:04AM

A man who cut off his own penis in a drunken bet had it stitched back on by Latvian doctors, the first such operation in the country's history.
While heavily under the influence of alcohol, the 30-year-old made a bet with his friend for 1000 lats ($2360) that he would cut off his penis, according to a Latvian public television report.
He was brought to hospital bleeding severely yesterday.
"We have had a few cases with penis traumas, when it was half-cut or damaged, but this is the first time that it was totally cut off - and brought to hospital in a plastic bag," said microsurgeon Aivars Tihonovs from Gailezers hospital in the Latvian capital, Riga.
The operation lasted three and a half hours as doctors had to sew six nerves back together, according to media reports. "The first operation of this kind in the world was carried out in 1977, and it is still very rare," Tihonovs said, adding that such surgery was sometimes needed after bomb explosions.
The surgeon said that he was proud of his work but also "really angry that he (the patient) did it to himself".
Doctors said that it would take four or five days to assess if the operation was successful. It would take about half a year to be sure that the man's penis was functioning properly.

What a fuckin idiot.....There needs to be a new law that if you are drunk (or sober for that matter) and you cut off your penis for any reason, it can not be sewn back on to populate the world with more stupid fucks like that.....what a dipshit....

One reason I hate alcohol with a passion is because of the stupid fucking people in this world that do stupid shit like this...I hope his penis doesn't heal and just falls right off.....maybe then he will look at his drinking and even more disturbing, how he makes bets....

"There needs to be a new law that if you are drunk (or sober for that matter) and you cut off your penis for any reason, it can not be sewn back on ..."

I disagree. The law should be that it MUST be sewn back on - after swapping it for the person's nose.

"Hooray for Loreena Bobbit! She saw what she wanted - so she copped it! Though she yanked like a Moose - It wouldn't come loose...So she whipped out her Ginsu and chopped it!"
