Australian Man Goes To Hospital To Get An Eel Removed From His Ass

[BiBoyinBeantown]

At first I was going to call "shenanigans" on the eel story, because it sounds (to my ears, anyway) a lot like the famous but untrue urban legend about a well-known actor (or newscaster, for those from Philadelphia) having a gerbil removed from his bum. But googling for "eel rectal foreign body" comes up with this case cited in a medical journal:

Surgery. 2004 Jan;135(1):110-1.
Traumatic rectal perforation by an eel.

australian man goes to hospital to get an eel removed from his ass

huff po - talk about being saved at the eel-eventh hour. A man in auckland, new zealand had a rather embarrassing emergency last week when he had to ask doctors to remove an eel from his bottom. an auckland city hospital spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the huffington post. But matt rogers, spokesman for auckland district health board, confirmed that a man was treated for the condition at ach. “in response to a direct query from the herald on sunday, we can confirm that an adult male presented at auckland city hospital this week with an eel inside him,” rogers said. “no further comment will be made out of respect for the patient’s right to privacy.” it’s unclear how the eel got inside the man, but the patient was treated successfully and released.
thats gotta be the most humbling moment in the history of the world, no? I mean if i had an eel in my asshole i’d probably just kill myself on the spot. I’d absolutely rather be dead than go to a hospital and be like “hey doc i got an eel up my ass.” how does an eel even get inside an asshole? I’m just thinking about how hard it is to fuck with whiskey dick and i can’t envision an scenario in which an eel can get all up in someone’s ass. Thats either the stiffest eel or the widest butt of all time. Like belladonna wide.

maybe he just wanted to eat the damn thing, but he made a mistake intead of his mouth he used his asshole

What's the Richard Gere hamster legend, Flabbyboy? Does that have anything similar to the South Park Mr Slave hamster episode??

The remaining members of Led Zeppelin all have confirmed that they were not in the country at the time of the eel incident.

What about the poor eel? The guy told it he was just going to slip into something more comfortable and then, BAM, darkness and farts.....

And the other thought of course is that the Kiwis have finally run out of sheep...
