A Chinese man was so embarrassed about getting his penis stuck in a pipe that he waited two long and painful days before he called for help.
“It was so hot I was painting in the nude and I slipped on the floor, causing my private parts to fall inside the pipe,” Lian Tien told the Mirror.
His bizarre excuse came 48 hours into his trial. He waited so long because he thought nobody would believe him.
The 61-year-old’s penis was excruciatingly trapped in the narrow pipe used to take water from the building’s air conditioning unit.
According to the Mirror, it was only when he developed a fever that he rang doctors begging for help, but they suggested he call firefighters first.
“The member had swollen so much that there was nothing more we could do, and we had to ask for help,” Dr. Dewei Yuan explained.
Rescuers based in Quanzhou City took four long hours to carefully cut off the pipe around the patient’s genitals.
