Keeping the family jewels safe :
(8-6-2005)
Emergency workers helped a New Hampshire man out of a difficult
situation over the weekend after a friend apparently locked a padlock
around his testicles.
According to the Portsmouth Herald, police reported that the 39-year-old
man was intoxicated when they arrived at the scene on July 30 at
about 3:40 a.m. The man, who was not identified, told them that
he had the padlock around his testicles for two weeks.
The man said that a friend put the lock on while he was drunk and
passed out. When he woke up, the friend was gone.
"Never in my 13 years have I seen anything like this,"
Cpl. H.D. Wood told the Herald.
The man told police that he tried to remove the lock with a hacksaw
because the key had broken off in the lock.
He was taken to Exeter Hospital, where a locksmith removed the
padlock. He was treated and released, and the hospital said he had
no lasting injury.
Police said that they did not know the motive for the incident.
