He probably thought he had nothing Toulouse trying that
Was reading about this on local news yesterday and it's already here?! Poor lad... Even with our stringent laws regarding patient confidentiality, it's gonna be hard to live it down.
almost as hard as living with unexploded ordinance stuffed in your rectum.
Damn you were fast, I was about to post about this!
Clam Lives Matter?
Not that shell. The other kind, the one that goes boom.
Holly shit!
Only if it's blessed by a priest before rapid distribution, otherwise it's just sparkling feces.
That’s mighty Catholic

A similar story from 2021: https://www.businessinsider.com/uk-man-wwii-shell-lodged-in-rectum-bomb-squad-called-2021-12
Is that how the three seashells work?😐
I think he tried too hard...
Ohhh, THAT type of shell.
I respect the man for not lying about it, at least.
I think that if you show up at the hospital with a shell vanished up your rear, probably one way or another they're gonna figure out that there's a shell up there.

I'll be here all week

Don't nobody go in there for 704 million to 1.4 billion years.
Rectum, hell it killed 'em!
I'm disapointed they didn't mention the calibre. Was it a 50BMG cartridge? A 12.7mm machine gun shell or a 155mm artillery shell?
The team in the operating room found themselves having to extract a “collectible shell nearly 20 centimetres long” (nearly eight inches).
"Everything's a dildo if you're horny/brave enough." - man.
That Mario Lemieux sure had a way with words.
Oh it's not part of the Iron Harvest, this guy was using a dud on himself, meh.
Everyone knows it's a myth that length is important. Women of discerning taste and frenchmen of questionable apetites need girth! ;)
What's the diameter?
This is not how anyone ever wants to show up on the news, let alone internationally
Why would they use a shell in his rectum instead of a colonoscope?
Treatment is different in France.
Why do I know this?
