A Norwegian man has taken to Facebook to complain about how one of his testicles became trapped while sitting on an Ikea chair.

In a public post to the Swedish furniture giant’s Facebook page , Claus Jørstad, of Alta in Norway, claimed he bought a plastic Ikea stool to help him shower after a knee injury but the seat, which was supposed to help, put him in a rather precarious shower situation.

While in the shower washing Mr Jørstad said a burst of cold water shrunk one of his testicles and it slotted into one of the holes that features at the top of the Marius chair.

Then when the water heated the 45-year-old’s genitals expanded to their normal size and soon the man realised that one of his “sailors” – as he put it – was wedged in the hole.

“Sitting there and noticing the accident, I bent down to see what the f--k happened, I realised the little nutter has got stuck,” Mr Jørstad told MailOnline.

“I couldn’t f--king move. Imagine an angry Irishman having an incident, cursing his way.”
