Pain on an Austrian Roof

From the same continent that brought you the story of the man who got his balls stuck in the slats of a wooden beach chair on the coast of Croatia, we bring you a story that's much, much worse. In fact, we recommend that all male readers look away for a second.

Move a little north of Croatia and you'll come to Austria. Home to apple strudel and once home to Arnie, it's normally a quiet enough country. But this week, the whole nation heard a terribly loud scream when a 59-year-old man from Jennersdorf did something bad. We can't type it ourselves:

He shot a four-inch nail into his left testicle with a compressed air nail gun. He was unable to extract it or pull himself away from the roof.

Somehow the emergency guys got him loose and airlifted him to surgery, fast--and now he's doing OK. Don't think about it too much.
