Greetings fellow Bizarros:
We subscribe to UPI’s news service here at the office. It
is good for the occasional bizarre story or to provide some
content for a newsletter. When scrolling through the list
of stories on the UPI page there are certain words that
will jump out and immediately make me click on a link. One
of those words is ‘penis.’
When I clicked on that link I was rewarded with a truly
bizarre story.
It seems firefighters in California were called to a hospital
for an unusual rescue — removing a metal ring from a man’s
penis.
The Costa Mesa Fire Department said its Urban Search and
Rescue squad was called to Hoag Memorial Hospital to saw
through a steel, ring-shaped dumbbell weight fastener that
had been stuck on a man’s penis for two or three days.
Costa Mesa Battalion Chief Scott Broussard said the fire-
fighters told him about the man the following morning.
“They said his comment was, ‘This will make me the chief of
my tribe,’” Broussard said.
The firefighters said the man told them he was attempting to
increase the size of his penis and initially refused to have
the ring removed, despite the fact it had blackened and
swelled severely from the lack of blood flow.
The man agreed to have the ring removed after doctors told
him the flesh of his penis was close to dying off. Firefighters
in full surgical gear spent two hours sawing through the ring.
They said the operation was successful and the man was not
injured.
There is no word on whether he became chief of his tribe.
Bizarrely,
Lewis

+———————- Bizarre Coincidences ————————+
A distraught architect threw himself in front of a train in
the London Underground in a suicide attempt. Luckily, the
train stopped inches from his body; in fact, it had to be
jacked off its tracks to allow his removal. When questioned,
however, the driver informed officials he hadn’t stopped the
train. An investigation revealed that one of the passengers,
unaware of the suicide attempt, had independently pulled the
emergency brake. London Transport officials considered
prosecuting the passenger for illegal use of the emergency
brake but ultimately decided against it.
George D. Bryson, a businessman from Connecticut, decided to
change his travel plans and stop in Louisville, Kentucky, a
place he’d never visited before. He went to a local hotel
and made preparations to check into Room 307. Before he could
do so, a hotel employee handed him a letter addressed to his
exact name. It turned out the previous occupant of Room 307
was another George D. Bryson.
One three separate occasions – in the years 1664, 1785, and
1860 – there was a shipwreck in which only one person
survived the accident. Each time that one person was named
Hugh Williams.
In 1983, a woman told British Rail authorities about a
disturbing vision she had of a fatal train crash involving
an engine with the numbers 47 216. Two years later, a train
had a fatal accident, similar to the one the woman had
described. The engine number, however, was 47 299. Later,
someone noticed that the number had previously been changed
by nervous British Rail officials. The original number:
47 216.
Several secret code words were devised by Allied military
commanders during their preparations to invade Normandy in
World War II. Among them: “Utah,” “Neptune,” “Mulberry,”
“Omaha,” and “Overlord.” Before the invasion could begin,
however, all of these words appeared in a crossword puzzle
in the London Daily Telegraph. After interrogating the
puzzle’s author, an English school teacher, authorities
became convinced that it was sheer, inexplicable coinci-
dence.

——– Pilot Accused of Stalking Ex-Girlfriend From Air ——–
A California man was arrested on suspicion of stalking
after he allegedly used his airplane to violate a
restraining order by buzzing a neighborhood, police said.
In recent weeks, Concord, California, police were in-
vestigating an incident in which leaflets were dropped
over a residential neighborhood, possibly by a low-flying
airplane. “The leaflets referenced a specific person and
contained defamatory language and racial slurs. As the
investigation has progressed, it appears that the
motivation behind this situation is a failed domestic
relationship,” the statement read. The investigation led
to the identification of a possible suspect, a 51-year-
old licensed pilot. Police received several calls from
residents of the neighborhood reporting a low-flying
private airplane in the area. Police officers responded
to the airport and contacted the man after he landed his
plane. It was the same man who had been served with the
restraining order earlier in the day.
——- Masturbation Causes Multi-Lane Traffic Accident ——-
A high-on-drugs Dutch trucker en route to Gothenburg, Sweden,
was masturbating while driving and lost control, flipping the
truck and blocking multiple lanes of traffic. While in the
wreckage, he kept masturbating. Under police interrogation,
he kept masturbating. The man admitted at the scene to have
been pleasuring himself while driving, resulting in his loss
of control. That accident, which closed down one direction
of traffic and shut off a lane traveling the other, didn’t
deter him from completing the task at hand, so he kept at it
while police responded to the scene. When in custody and under
interrogation, the man continued his session in the presence
of officers.

—————— Man Ejects Intruding Kangaroo ——————-
GARRAN, Australia — An Australian woman said her husband w
restled a 6-foot-tall kangaroo into a headlock and threw it
out of the family home after it jumped in through a window.
Verity Beman said the marsupial jumped through a window at
about 2 a.m. and landed on the bed she shares with her
husband, Beat Ettlin. “At first, he (Ettlin) thought it was
a lunatic ninja,” Beman said. “It leaped through the window,
this martial-arts kind of figure. It was very Jackie Chan.”
Beman said they soon discovered the intruder was a 90-pound
kangaroo and it began rampaging through their home. “That’s
when his male instinct kicked in,” Beman said of her husband.
Ettlin put the kangaroo in a headlock, dragged it toward the
front door and ejected it from his home. Beman said her
husband, who is originally from Switzerland, probably would
not have confronted the kangaroo if he had been a native
Australian. “They would be fully aware of the risk,” she said.
