Council workmen find 100 TONNES of rubbish in pensioner's home
Quote:
It's been a while since pensioner Merv Jones tidied up or hoovered.
In fact, it's been so long that he might never have been able to find the Hoover amid the astonishing 100 tons of rubbish and bric-a-brac in his home - assuming he ever looked for it.
Every room in the three - storey terraced house was filled from floor to ceiling with mouldering junk. It was even piled up in the hall. Both front and back gardens were also a mess.
The pensioner was put up in a hotel while his house was emptied over three weeks. North-East Lincolnshire Council intends to reclaim the cost of the operation from him.

Not sure how you'd fall on a light bulb and get it shoved up your butt without breaking it.
Apparently the incandescent light bulbs are a bit tricky to extract because if ER staff try to pull them back out they tend to shatter, causing the patient a certain amount of discomfort for awhile whenever something either exists or enters their whazoo. I guess the method they use to extract light bulbs is to somehow removed the threaded metal base and then inject the bulb full of cast plaster. Once that hardens they can safely remove the bulb.
I guess another thing that ER staff see somewhat is guys come in who have been in MVAs and they're wearing ladies lingerie.
People are so weird.

I had a room-mate who was a Nurse in Vancouver's West End. Every weekend, there was a surge in "foreign object removals". Tubes of mousse, bristle brushes, and even a softball. Seems a lot of people "slip and fall while nude", thus getting impaled by household items.
One poor feller was too embarrassed to go the hospital to have the tube of mousse removed. He waited a few days, but when the pressure became to much, he finally went for the procedure. When the tube was removed, the operating theater was sprayed with excrement.

That's actually rather hilarious. It probably wasn't so funny for the surgical staff ... I hope they were standing out of the line of fire.

Speaking of weird sex ... where's Fotze? I figured he'd have been drawn to this thread by now.

He told you to never interrupt him when he's cleaning his room.

Getting back to the OP 
There's a guy around the corner from our house that has his car FILLED with crap. I don't know how he gets the pile to not overflow onto the drivers seat! It's surprising that he doesn't get tickets for not being able to see out his back or side windows.
