Do not try this at home (Very graphic - WAY TMI)
Disclaimer: This was told to me by my sister yesterday. I'm pretty sure she was serious, but with my family you never can tell.
My sister works for the urology department at a major hospital. She was up visiting yesterday afternoon and told me this doozy about one of their more unusual patients.
Gentleman is admitted to the casualty department (ER). He had apparently decided his testicles needed lubricating. Please not not his scrotum his freaking testicles.
Of course to accomplish that he needed access to them. So he took a pair of nail clippers and opened up a small hole. A hole just big enough for the nozzle of the can of WD40. Yes he injected his scrotal sack with WD40.
Unsurprisingly this caused him some minor discomfort. Hence the trip to the hospital. The attending doctor wasn't sure of the correct procedure in this case, so he called a senior consultant. The consultants reply "Oh yes, I've had this before*. That time the patient used sunflower oil. Unfortunately it made it's way into his bloodstream and helped form an embolism."
The recomended treatment ws to make around two dozen small insicions all around his sack, then force saline into the hole he made himself. Unfortunatley, it was too little too late. He was re-admitted 3 weeks later as gangreen had set in to his penis, and most of it had to be removed.
On the bright side, at least he'll never need to buy a watering can.
*He's had this before. What in the name of... of...?
