Out with a Bang
Rio de Janeiro - A man died when he tried to open what police believe was a rocket-propelled grenade with a sledgehammer in a workshop. Officers are investigating a possible link to drugs gangs who often raid military bases. (Reuters)

Out without a bang :-[
I used to work in the NHS, and once had a patient who had been trying to solve 'erectile difficulties' by poking the rolled up foil from a kit kat down the old 3rd eye, to see if there was 'something in the base he could tickle' to 'bring it back to life'
There wasn't, obviously, and when he removed the foil, only half of it came out again. :'(
He spent a long evening on the end of some extremely thin tweezers, and went home.
He returned later that month, because things weren't right, waterworks - wise, so he had an investigation where an X ray contrast agent was put in the urethra, it should have shown up as a thin line, about 3 to 4 mm wide, but in fact showed the rough outline of the old chap. Infection had set in, and the whole of the inside of his penis had gone. :o
During the procedure he asked the doc if the shape and size of his old chap was why he didn't have much success with women*, and was it normal that, at his late-ish stage in life, he was a virgin.**
Unfortunately, he still will be.
But at least he's out of the gene pool now.
* The doc replied 'Well, if it's the first thing you show them, yes'
** Doc replied 'No, I am XX yrs old, and I have six children' (Was a locum from Zambia, hadn't done the bedside manner course)
