He got a bit too close to the cement mixer (Picture: Deadline News)

A man apparently tried to feel up a cement mixer because he thought it was a woman’s bottom.

A clip showed the middle-aged man rubbing up against the metal for a few seconds before he realised his mistake.

What is the Ig Nobel Prize and who won it this year?

The man, who had a Scottish accent, turned to the person filming and said: ‘I thought it was a bird, mate.’

The filmer, who was laughing, replied: ‘You thought it was a bird?’


To which the man said: ‘Aye, I’ve not got brains mate. I f****** thought I was rubbing her a***.’

The man then simply shrugged his shoulders like it was no big deal.

The cameraman was still in stitches though and added: ‘Get her pumped.’ Whatever that means.
