<<Go on, everyone, tell us your mishaps. Maybe I'll feel better ...>> Thankfully, the following is not my mishap, but was related to me by a nurse friend of mine. It would easily qualify for the Darwin award. A fellow that worked in a factory was told by his boss that if he felt the need for "feminine companionship" but did not have access to such, he could relieve his urge by using a Shop-Vac on the appropriate part of the anatomy. One night, as he worked alone, he felt such a need. He applied the suction, and two days later showed up at the hospital because he could not urinate. (He was too embarrassed to come in sooner.) The nurse said his member looked like hamburger and there was not much left. What had happened was that the Shop-Vac had glass breaking blades in the end, and it literally chewed up his member because the suction was too great to remove the hose (no pun intended--the other was nearly removed)...so he was there frantically pulling on the power cord trying to unplug it. The hospital was able to fit the man with a prosthesis, but it is not known if he now stands or sits to do his business. Ouch! Poor stupid guy.
