Apparently, an Australian man was confused about the use of some basic hardware and used a few washers to assist his own hardware. The problem was, that, well embarassinly, the washers got stuck and uh sort of had to be removed in surgery (ouch!)
The Daily Telegraph has more details for those of you that are interested. However, I found the following description rather interesting….
Fire Rescue Officers spent more than an hour unsuccessfully attempting to remove the washers, before the man was taken into an operating theatre about 4.30am.
Surgeons took about 90 minutes to remove the washers using fire brigade equipment.
What is fire brigade equipment? I would think the fire brigade wouldn’t want their equipment anywhere near this guy! I am sure this guy will be the talk of the fire house for some time to come. What were all the parties thinking as the fire rescue officers worked FOR AN HOUR to take the washers off? What in the world would a guy do with a bunch of washers around his….? OK folks, keep the discussion PG rated! 
It take all kinds of folks to keep this world interesting.
p.s. In case you were wondering, the man is reported to be OK.

ROFL
the man is reported to be OK
Yeah, but how’s his equipment?

Beth – the equipment was probably listed as “lost to field extraction activities.”
June 2nd, 2008 at 1:56 pm
Beth oh – HIS equipment… probably the deflation parallels the owner’s pride.

Fire Brigade equipment includes a big magnet. Very useful since the man did not use a single rubber (washer).

I can see this guy running after a nut and the nut screaming ” No ! Not without a washer!”

“the washers got stuck and uh sort of had to be removed in surgery ”
ok i am confused … is the picture above of the actual washers?
are not some of them a little too small to be put around a penis? and are they not too big and pointy to put inside.
is this a foreskin thing?
June 2nd, 2008 at 3:31 pm
why would you do this anyway?
first, what are washers really for? sinks or something aren’t they?
i have heard of men putting jewelry on their penises, but i think i would have to see a picture
June 2nd, 2008 at 3:38 pm
finally, what would you say to the 911 operator?
Dispatcher: Squad 51, Squad 51 informant reports washers on his penis, use caution.
Dr. Kelly Brackett: Squad 51, this is Rampart. Can you send us some EKG?
John Gage: Ten-four, we’re transmitting EKG. We’re sending you a strip. Vitals to follow. Pulse is 160, he is becoming excited, the victim is in extreme pain, Rampart. V-fib!
Joe Early: Administer two-amp sodium bicarb, insert an airway. Start an IV, 51. Lactate Ringer’s. make sure you take off the metal washers BEFORE you defibrulate.
Paramedic Roy DeSoto: Patient is in V-fib! Rampart, we have lost the victim’s pulse, beginning CPR. We’re defibrialing victim, Rampart. Rampart, we have defibrilated victim, he has sinus rhythm.
Dixie McCall: Squad 51, continue to monitor patient and transport immediately. stop touching his penis, that’s my job
John Gage: Roger, we’re on our way, Rampart.

C*ckr*ng lisa.
Men use them to maintain posture.

Thanks you McCain for keeping this a family oriented site. Back in the day, this poor man’s hardware problem would have been the “Picture Caption of the Week Contest”.
June 2nd, 2008 at 4:27 pm
Blame MBT for that. If it were me, I’d find a pic of the operation.
So how is your hoops game, Ms. Tina?
June 2nd, 2008 at 4:48 pm
Yeah MBT – HIS equipment! LOL
June 2nd, 2008 at 4:51 pm
are not some of them a little too small to be put around a p*nis?
Don’t you think it depends on the guy… :snicker:
June 2nd, 2008 at 4:59 pm
These are not a picture of the actual washers. Alas, neither the washers nor the surgery were accompanied by photos…. Perhaps he’ll publish a book with all the pictures you would want (or not) to see.
lisab – one could only imagine the 911 call – good guess – cardiac arrest may have been happening for the rescuers, from laughter.
June 2nd, 2008 at 5:00 pm
DUKE!!! If we find the pix – rest assured, McCain will get them into the picture contest; even more so if the surgeon were a buxum blonde!

I noticed that I got edited.
My apologies.
Next time i’ll leave out the “O” and the “I”.
Wait, I cant say “r*ng”?
Then again, I coulda just made a Viagra joke.

This site is more male sexist than the SI swimsuit edition. I mean the ladies around here never get anything to focus our eye balls on. We have to pass over saggy-boobed liberals past their prime to post intelligent comments.

“Don’t you think it depends on the guy… :snicker:”
how small could it be? it would have to be pretty small to fit in those washers above …
it just boggles the mind … only a man would think to put his penis into a washer … it seems to me those penii are nothing but trouble

“Men use them to maintain posture.”
if a man came towards you with a metal washer on his thingy …
isn’t that a deal breaker? isn’t that when you say you have HIV, just to scare him away.
i mean really, shouldn’t you get a tetanus shot if you put metal washers in your genitals?
June 2nd, 2008 at 7:21 pm
lisab – men have a very difficult time with things. Can you just imagine what its like to have your sexual organs hanging outside of your body? They’re just hanging there for everyone to see. Its no wonder their the way they are.
June 2nd, 2008 at 7:28 pm
I noticed that I got edited.
No need to apologize mickey – it probably wasn’t necessary – just an over abundance of caution.
June 2nd, 2008 at 7:32 pm
beth
I feel dirty now.
June 2nd, 2008 at 7:36 pm
As an Ironworker I’ve seem washers 3 feet across.

“Can you just imagine what its like to have your sexual organs hanging outside of your body?”
i have often wondered how they sit down without hurting themselves?
June 2nd, 2008 at 8:18 pm
“As an Ironworker I’ve seem washers 3 feet across.”
Beth,
they also have this habit of exaggerating how big their washers are
