    Ohhh, THAT type of shell.

    I respect the man for not lying about it, at least.

    This is not how anyone ever wants to show up on the news, let alone internationally

    Everyone that said they "dropped a bomb in the toilet" is just a poser. This guy is the real deal.

    I'm disapointed they didn't mention the calibre. Was it a 50BMG cartridge? A 12.7mm machine gun shell or a 155mm artillery shell?

    The team in the operating room found themselves having to extract a “collectible shell nearly 20 centimetres long” (nearly eight inches).

    Was reading about this on local news yesterday and it's already here?! Poor lad... Even with our stringent laws regarding patient confidentiality, it's gonna be hard to live it down.

    Why would they use a shell in his rectum instead of a colonoscope?

    Here I was ready with a 1000 mollusk jokes, but I'll clam up as it's not that type of shell.

    His gas has to be deadly, did he bomb the toilet before going to the hospital? At least he's OK and the doctors now have Somme more war stories to tell about this guy.

    This isn’t even the first time someone went to the hospital with an explosive round stuck in their asshole.

    Situation was a bit HEATed, I would venture...
