The Butt of the Joke?

| February 11, 2026 | 14 Comments

Seems some folks have to try and go a leetle bit further. Today we look at a French fella who seems to have “fundament”ally  broken new ground in his search for fun.

A 24-year old French guy hobbled into the Toulouse hospital complaining of pain. I can understand why…

Rushed into surgery, the doctors soon discovered that the source of the “unspecified pain” turned out to be an 8-inch long 37mm brass-and copper shell used by the Imperial German Army in the late stages of the Great War.

According to the French newspaper La Dépêche, the medical staff in Toulouse are “accustomed to treating victims injured during sexual games,” but are understandably unused to dislodging centuries-old munitions from rectums.

“He was in a state of extreme discomfort, having inserted a large object up his rectum,” said an investigating source, stating the obvious.

Having got it up there, I am guessing the term “Toulouse” wasn’t applicable?

The artillery shell, unexploded at the time of the removal, resulted in the evacuation of the hospital, with an explosive ordnance disposal squad called to the hospital to ensure the munition was not in danger of detonating within the individual’s personal hurt locker. Military Times

Pity the poor EOD guy forced to work in “tight quarters.”

The round is described as 8 inches long with a 37mm (call it 1.5″) projectile dating from late in the Great War – WWI.

This round seems to be a bit larger than that of the 2022 incident when a similar-sized round from a French WW1 round had to be surgically removed from an 88-year old Frenchman’s, ah, nether regions.

Previously, a 22-year old Englishman who had inserted a 2″ wide anti-tank round up HIS heinie seems to have been the record holder, but has now been “unseated” by this newest idiot.

Given that approximately 1.5 billion shells were fired in WW1, discovering projectiles, and even unfired rounds, is not that unusual. The rest… well, some people will try anything.

So the current score in this non-Olympic competition seems to be France 2, England 1.

Given where the shell ended up Saturday in a Frenchman, am I the only one who sees the irony of it being German?

 

Makes me recall a favorite movie quote:
Lieutenant:  The Captain wants you to know he’s behind you 100%.

Sergeant: Yes, sir, I’ve felt him there many times.

Well, now I know why the Navy inventoried their stockage of 16” rounds so meticulously….

The last time that we saw an idea blow up in someone’s ass this bad was when Phil Monkress of All Points Logistics convince Psul of The Ballsack go on This Ain’t Hell to defend his claims of being a US Navy SEAL.

We can now add “Do not insert WWI munitions into your rectum” to the 1st Sergeant’s Weekend Safety Brief.

But First Sergeant what about Vietnam era munitions? Are those ok? Asking for a friend in the Minnesota National Guard.

Anything can be a sex toy if you are brave enough.
Oh gawd…..I hope this wasn’t on TikTok. Someone will try a 40mm next. Perhaps they will even try ‘ tube mag ‘ loading a couple ?

My bride’s question: Could a big fart cause it to explode? Not being artillery, I couldn’t answer it.
