| Serbs line up for testicle shocks |
| 2005-11-09 |
| Men in Serbia are lining up to have electric shocks delivered to their testicles as part of a new contraceptive treatment. Serbian fertility expert Dr Sava Bojovic, who runs one of the clinics offering the service, said the small electric shock makes men temporarily infertile by stunning their sperm into a state of immobility. He said: "We attach electrodes to either side of the testicles and send low electricity currents flowing through them. This stuns the sperm, effectively putting them to sleep for up to 10 days, which means couples can have sex without fear of getting pregnant. The method does not kill the sperm permanently and it does not affect the patient's health." Dr Bojovic added patients were now lining up at his fertility clinic in Novi Banovci for the shock treatment, as it had none of the problems attached to using condoms, the male pill or having a vasectomy. He added: "We are hoping to have a small battery powered version on sale in the shops in time for Xmas." Note for Ramsey Clark: Saddam's torturers were really birth-control technicians. |

| #2 Airfare to Novi Banovci has got to be outta sight. I can't help but wonder if a Lionel train transformer would work just as well. Very low voltage. Like to give it a rigidity run. If it proved successful I could give the whistle a few blasts to notify passengers. |
