Well I've heard of shooting yourself in the foot but this is taking things too far.

It is actually a believable accident, Artillery shells are often stored 'standing up', i.e pointed end upwards.
If during a 'clear out', and the floor is cluttered with stuff, you happen to stumble backwards......
I suspect many of us have had such accidents (stumbling and falling backwards, not the artillery shell stuff ).
You'd have to be very unlucky to fall slap bang on the shell, but accidents do happen, and they usually are unlucky.
We don't often hear about the 'lucky' accidents.

Exactly how sore was it and were you not embarrassed in A n E

Not many people have a clear out naked though! Well, some sort of clear outs, obviously.

A doctor friend, who is an anaesthetist often working in A&E, said a surprising number of men find themselves with things stuck up their bottoms. They always have a story, but everybody knows they should have just used
Mod edit: this is an Adult link:
a proper tool for the job!

Hmm, I hadn't considered that.
In deference to gas112 ( ), I'll shell (pun intended) out for some clothes next time I'm fired (pun) up to clearing out my artillery memorabilia.

I have a friend who is an ambulance driver. Says the same thing.
PS, you could have warned us about that link - I've had to clear my browsing history in case Mrs Mottie sees what I've been looking at.

Mind blowing...
No, maybe not the mind...

Corporal Jones was wrong, seems like some do like it up 'em.

Let's face it, if you think about that part of your body and how the outer part of it functions (can't believe I'm typing this!), regardless of the item in question, no amount of 'falling over' is going to result in said item finding its way in/up there. I suppose many of us would feel inclined to come up with a story to save our blushes, but the medical teams aren't daft ...

I sat down on a sofa when i was a student about 25 years ago where someone had left a biro lying around. The biro went through my trousers, up my arse crack and stuck into my right buttock, thankfully about 2 inches from my my actual arse. It was very painful and very embarrassing in A&E when they cleaned the ink out of the wound but could have been a hell of a lot worse!

Thankfully, one of my housemates witnessed what happened and i had matching holes with blue ink on in my trousers and pants as evidence. I still ended up being ribbed mercilessly by my friends for years.

I worked with a guy who was off sick for a few weeks because he, apparently, fell down the stairs and landed on a glass table.
He resigned shortly after.

Would this be a so called Dirty Bomb?

 

[Andydevon]

if it wasn't before hand it very well may be now.

Not that I'd ever need to, but if I did need a reason in the circumstances I reckon I'd blame the missus, promise never to criticise her cooking again & no I do not wish to press charges
