TT: Playing pitch with one marble

THE MAN who ripped off his testicles with his hands in a police station cell was in stable condition at hospital after doctors succeeded in reattaching one of the organs.

The 47-year-old Claton Bay man, who stormed into the St Margaret's Police Station on Saturday and threatened police officers on duty, would be able to lead a normal life, a hospital official told the Express yesterday.

The affected area was treated and left to heal, while the torn-off testicle was incinerated, the official said.

This guy either has balls of steel or he must've been higher than a kite. To rip off his testicles with his hands without passing out? Whatever happened to the good old fashioned kick to the balls immobilizing the male of the species? Is a rip off so different from a kick? Enquiring minds want to know.
