A RUGBY fan who cut out his testicles with wire cutters to mark a Wales victory is at a loss to explain why he did it.
| It seemed like a good idea at the time. |
Geoffrey Huish, 31, performed the impromptu self-surgery in February when his beloved Wales beat world champion England. After performing the deed, Mr Huish put his severed anatomy in a bag and took them to his local social club to show fellow fans.
| "Hey guys! Check this out!" |
He collapsed with blood loss and was rushed to hospital but surgeons could not reattach his missing parts.
| "Nope, ain't going to work. Toss 'em into the bin and call the speech pathologist; he's going to be singing soprano." |
He was put in a psychiatric ward but has no history of mental illness and was at a loss to explain why he did it.
"I'd told my pal Gethin Probert before the game that Wales didn't stand a chance," Mr Huish said. "It wasn't a bet but I said I'd cut my balls off if we won.
| So now we know why he did it. |
"I listened to the game on the radio at home by myself.
"After the match I got up for a pee and saw the cutters in the bathroom. Gethin had left them after repairing the chain on my toilet.
| That's what you get for leaving cutters lying around. |
"I remembered what I'd said and thought he had left them for me.
"I thought 'Oh no, I haven't got to do anything like that have I' and then I thought 'You can do it'.
"So I started hacking away at my tackle. It took about 10 minutes and there was quite a bit of pain but I just kept going. The cutters were blunt so I had to keep snipping."
| Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch ... |
After picking his testicles from the toilet bowl, he went to the social club. "I went in and shouted out 'I've done it!'," Mr Huish said.
| Not exactly what I would have shouted ... |
"I took my balls out and passed them in the bag to a friend.
"Hey man, check this out!"
"Ow-w-w-w-w, gross." |
Mr Huish continues to see a psychiatrist. "I think about what happened every day and still haven't come up with a good reason why," he said.
| And I don't think you're likely to, either. |
"I'd had a lot going on and felt a bit down. "I can't have kids now but still want a family - maybe I'll adopt."
| Just don't let the social worker hear about the psych report, 'k? |
