A vicar claims a potato got stuck up his bottom after he fell on to the vegetable while hanging curtains in the nude.
The clergyman, in his 50s, told medical staff at Sheffield's Northern General Hospital that the accident was definitely not due to a sex game.

He had to undergo surgery to extract the spud from his backside, according to The Sun.

A&E nurse Trudi Watson told the paper: "He explained to me, quite sincerely, he had been hanging curtains naked in he kitchen when he fell backwards on to the kitchen table and on to a potato.

"But it's not for me to question his story."

She went on to reveal other objects removed from people's derriére, including a cucumber, a Russian doll and a carnation.

The article fails to say what type of potato was involved. I would suggest that it was most likely a 'red bliss' potato.

"I fell on it while naked" is a pretty common explanation when things get stuck in the rectum. Emergency room staffs probably don't even laugh when they hear it anymore.

Meanwhile, Dan Quayle wants me to tell you: it's Potatoes.

To paraphrase Cindy Adams, "Only in a vicar's rectum, kids . . . "

Any ER worker can give you a long list of incredible stories of what people put in their rectums.

I always wonder...was that the ONLY thing you could find that was available? A spud or a lightbulb?

"I hope he used Boy Butter."

That's what I mean...if you are buying lube, why not buy the dildo right next to it? Then you wouldnt have to resort to effing veggies and making up wild stories when you get into a "sit-uation".

Well, if it wasn't sour before...

A carnation? Really?

I just fell off my chair laughing at this thread (on to a potato. Damn, it's off to the emergency room...)
