Stupidest Man Alive: Geoffrey Huish

Filed under: Humor,Morons — Patterico @ 6:31 am



I’m filing this under “Morons” — but that’s really too much of a compliment:

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.

(Via Dean.)

UPDATE: I thought the moral of the story was: “Don’t cut off your own testicles with wire cutters” — but Xrlq sees a larger lesson here.

    There’s a country song out, “What’s a guy got to do to get a girl in this town?” I’m thinking that this isn’t quite the right way.

    The Darwin Awards:
    We salute the improvement of the human genome

    Of necessity, this honor is generally bestowe…
