What a nightmare.

An extremely clumsy man needed medical assistance after getting his penis jammed in a pipe for two days while painting in the nude.

Lian Tien, 61, admitted he ‘did not think people would believe him’ after slipping while doing some home improvements on a particularly hot day in China’s Quanzhou city.

He gave the improbable excuse after going to his local hospital when his penis swelled up and he developed a fever.


‘It was hot so I was painting the wall in the nude,’ explained.

‘I slipped on the floor causing my private parts to fall inside the pipe that was protruding from the wall to take water outside from the air conditioning unit. Unfortunately, I got stuck as a result.’



He added: ‘I cut it from the wall and tried pouring oil and liquid soap down the sides but my manhood was so tightly wedged that nothing dripped down.

‘I went to sleep thinking that if I relaxed it would slide off. But it didn’t. It began to get red and inflamed. I was worried that I would get a terrible infection.’

Firefighters were eventually called by stumped doctors and used use an electric cutting tool to saw off the pipe during a four-hour operation.

In 2008, a vicar was hospitalised with potato up his bum after he fell on to the vegetable while hanging curtains in the nude.
