LONDON, England -- A Welsh rugby fan cut off his own testicles to celebrate Wales beating England at rugby, the Daily Mirror reported on Tuesday. Geoff Huish, 26, was so convinced England would win Saturday's match he told fellow drinkers at a social club, "If Wales win I'll cut my balls off," the paper said. Friends at the club in Caerphilly, south Wales, thought he was joking. But after the game Huish went home, severed his testicles with a knife, and walked 200 metres back to the bar with the testicles to show the shocked drinkers what he had done.
OK, I've been drunk in my life. But, never, ever this drunk.
Me, neither. And I can prove it.
Huish was taken to hospital where he remained in a seriously ill condition, the paper said. Police told the paper he had a history of mental problems.
Hey, at least it was over a rugby match and not soccer.
Wales's 11-9 victory over England at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff was their first home win in 12 years.
Big deal. The Red Sox didn't win a World Series for 86 years, you didn't see any of us cut our nuts off.

#5  Never, ever, ever argue with certan British folks, it's just not healthy for anyone. This is what pacifism and the loss of empire brings. :>

#4  Drunk, crazy and stupid though he be, this fellow is definitely a man of his word.

#3  And, if he'd done it at an earlier age, he could have gotten many operatic parts which require a certain "vocal tambre".

Muck4... you rascal!

#2  This gets me "seriously ill" rather than "seriously injured"? Is it infected? His self performed orchectomy injured him it didn't make him ill.
