Thought this could be a fun continuing thread for stories that really shouldn't be on the front page of a major news service.

Eunuchs Serve as Tax Collectors in India

Enjoy!

They still make those?

Posted by KarlEd (Member # 571) on :

Those and more, apparently. Ever read Son of the Circus?

Posted by Morbo (Member # 5309) on :

I love that book! All of the weird details of Indian and Parsi culture definitely made me want to visit India. Or, since I hate to travel, maybe read another book about India. [Blushing]

Backside firework prank backfires

quote:
We received a call stating there was a male who had a firework in his bottom and it was bleeding.

Wow. I want to be the guy that gets that call: "911?! We have an emergency!" ... "Bwahahahah!"

Also, I'm getting an uncomfortable mental picture of a very distressed firework bleeding profusely from injuries suffered while being shoved up some guys butt.

I can just see the ER doc presenting the case to a colleague:
"Patient was brought in by ambulance complaining of a scorched colon."
"Wait...what?"
"You heard me."

It's stuff like this that doesn't really make me dispute Olivet's assertion in the other thread.

Crap throwing monkeys? Pretty much... And damn proud of it, sister! [Razz]

(Except when the crap does hurt someone else.)
