Rugby fan removes balls after team wins

Give him the Darwin
Rugby fan can't explain self-mutilation

November 16, 2005 - 6:49AM

A rugby fan who cut out his testicles with wire cutters to mark a Wales victory is at a loss to explain why he did it.

Geoffrey Huish, 31, performed the impromptu self-surgery in February when his beloved Wales beat world champions England.

After performing the deed, Mr Huish put his severed anatomy in a bag and took them to his local social club to show fellow fans.

He collapsed with blood loss and was rushed to hospital but surgeons could not reattach his missing parts.

He was put in a psychiatric ward but has no history of mental illness and was at a loss to explain why he did it.

"I'd told my pal Gethin Probert before the game that Wales didn't stand a chance," Mr Huish told The Sun.

"It wasn't a bet but I said I'd cut my b*lls off if we won.

"I listened to the game on the radio at home by myself.

"After the match I got up for a pee and saw the cutters in the bathroom.

"Gethin had left them after repairing the chain on my toilet.

"I remembered what I'd said and thought he had left them for me.

"I thought 'Oh no, I haven't got to do anything like that have I' and then I thought 'You can do it'.

"So I started hacking away at my tackle.

"It took about 10 minutes and there was quite a bit of pain but I just kept going.

"The cutters were blunt so I had to keep snipping."

After picking his testicles from the toilet bowl, he went to the social club.

"I went in and shouted out 'I've done it!'," Mr Huish said.

"I took my b*lls out and passed them in the bag to a friend.

"Some people then laid me on the floor."

Mr Huish continues to see a psychiatrist.

"I think about what happened every day and still haven't come up with a good reason why," he said.

"I'd had a lot going on and felt a bit down.

"I can't have kids now but still want a family - maybe I'll adopt."

Using blunt wire cutters, of all things. Somehow ten minutes of agonizing pain failed to stop him hacking his gonads off. That's amazing, in a thoroughly sick way.

This has to rank with that guy who cut off his own penishead on video, or the guy who cut off his face and fed it to his dogs.

Perhaps he was just a wee bit drunk when he went through with that?

Is it sad that I can find it more reasonable for a idiot football/rugby fan to do this if their team lost :P .
Why did he do that :shock:

That...is...awful.

That guy has got to be mentally ill in SOME fashion. That is not the action of a well-adjusted member of society.

I don't know what to be in awe about. The fact that he cut off his own balls with fucking wire cutters because he said so, or that he's just removed himself from the gene pool through rampant stupidity.

I guess you can be a hardass and an idiot of praise.

Awful != full of awe.

I would assume that whatever altered state of consciousness he was in at the time (I mean really... can anyone think of any scenario ending like this that doesn't involve excessive alcohol or drugs?) rendered him impervious to the pain.
