Today we look at a French fella who seems to have &#8220;fundament&#8221;ally\u00a0 broken new ground in his search for fun.<\/p>\n<p>A 24-year old French guy hobbled into the Toulouse hospital complaining of pain. I can understand why&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"Paragraph-sc-1tqpf5s-0 bFwqVI body-paragraph body-paragraph\">Rushed into surgery, the doctors soon discovered that the source of the \u201cunspecified pain\u201d turned out to be an 8-inch long 37mm brass-and copper shell used by the Imperial German Army in the late stages of the Great War.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph-sc-1tqpf5s-0 bFwqVI body-paragraph body-paragraph\">According to the French newspaper La D\u00e9p\u00eache, the medical staff in Toulouse are \u201caccustomed to treating victims injured during sexual games,\u201d but are understandably unused to dislodging centuries-old munitions from rectums.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph-sc-1tqpf5s-0 bFwqVI body-paragraph body-paragraph\">\u201cHe was in a state of extreme discomfort, having inserted a large object up his rectum,\u201d said an investigating source, stating the obvious.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Having got it up there, I am guessing the term &#8220;Toulouse&#8221; wasn&#8217;t applicable?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The artillery shell, unexploded at the time of the removal, resulted in the evacuation of the hospital, with an explosive ordnance disposal squad called to the hospital to ensure the munition was not in danger of detonating within the individual\u2019s personal hurt locker.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/veterans\/military-history\/2026\/02\/02\/frenchman-hospitalized-after-inserting-wwi-munition-up-his-rear\/\">Military Times<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Pity the poor EOD guy forced to work in &#8220;tight quarters.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The round is described as 8 inches long with a 37mm (call it 1.5&#8243;) projectile dating from late in the Great War &#8211; WWI.<\/p>\n<p>This round seems to be a bit larger than that of the 2022 incident when a similar-sized round from a French WW1 round had to be surgically removed from an 88-year old Frenchman&#8217;s, ah, nether regions.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, a 22-year old Englishman who had inserted a 2&#8243; wide anti-tank round up HIS heinie seems to have been the record holder, but has now been &#8220;unseated&#8221; by this newest idiot.<\/p>\n<p>Given that approximately 1.5<em> billion\u00a0<\/em>shells were fired in WW1, discovering projectiles, and even unfired rounds, is not that unusual. The rest&#8230; well, some people will try anything.<\/p>\n<p>So the current score in this non-Olympic competition seems to be France 2, England 1.<\/p>\n<p>Given where the shell ended up Saturday in a Frenchman, am I the only one who sees the irony of it being German?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Makes me recall a favorite movie quote:<br \/>\nLieutenant:\u00a0 The Captain wants you to know he&#8217;s behind you 100%.<\/p>\n<p>Sergeant: Yes, sir, I&#8217;ve felt him there many times.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seems some folks have to try and go a leetle bit further.
