Vicar hospitalised with potato up his bum.

A vicar claims a potato got stuck up his bottom after he fell on to the vegetable while hanging curtains in the nude.
Vicar hospitalised with potato up his bum.

Vicar’s friend: This is a potato


The clergyman, in his 50s, told medical staff at Sheffield’s Northern General Hospital that the accident was definitely not due to a sex game. He had to undergo surgery to extract the spud from his backside, according to The Sun.A&E nurse Trudi Watson said: ‘He explained to me, quite sincerely, he had been hanging curtains naked in he kitchen when he fell backwards on to the kitchen table and on to a potato.’But it’s not for me to question his story.’

She went on to reveal other objects removed from people’s derriére, including a cucumber, a Russian doll and a carnation.

Update:This story was originally written in 2008 but, for reasons we’re not entirely sure of, enjoyed something of a resurgence in March 2012 and became a social media sensation.
