    Roo?

    Briton hurt after lighting firecracker in buttocks

    LONDON - A 22-year-old man suffered internal injuries after lighting a small firecracker he had inserted into his buttocks, paramedics said Thursday.

    The incident took place Sunday, when Britain celebrated Bonfire Night, traditionally marked with fireworks to celebrate the Guy Fawkes’ gunpowder plot to blow up Parliament in the 17th century.

    The man suffered burns and other unspecified internal injuries in the incident in Sunderland, 275 miles north of London.

    Katherine Shenton, a spokeswoman for the North East Ambulance Service, said a caller had phoned in that the victim was bleeding after the firecracker exploded.

    Several of the man’s friends recorded the incident on a mobile phone. The blurry images show a man bent over with his pants down and a white flash as the firecracker explodes.

    Ha ha! One of the newspapers ran that picture.

    Roo probably wishes he was 22 years old, but alas. His buttocks remain peachy and unblemished by gun powder.

    I'll try and find the pic.
    Monty Python's version of the cougar phenomenon:
    "This is a frightened city. Over these houses, over these streets hangs a pall of fear. Fear of a new kind of violence which is terrorizing the city. Yes, gangs of old ladies attacking defenseless, fit young men".

    Well, I guess he's done more over the years than most others.

    I haven't found the pic (you'll be glad of that Telepath) but the BBC did say he had a scorched colon. ....shudder.....

    They continue:
    Mr McDougal added: "Potentially it could have been a fatal incident.

    "There's a lot of major blood vessels round that area, so infection would probably be a huge problem for him.

    "And also the body naturally produces methane gas, so combine that with the firework and the exploding effect with methane's flammability - it certainly could have been a lot worse than it really was."

    The BBC had a much better description, something along the lines of "Black Cat firework lodged in his bottom"

    Couldn't stop laughing at the irony when the newsreader solemnly announced it was a Black Cat firework; Sunderland AFC, always finding new ways to screw Mackems in the arse.
