Freak of the Week


That Johnny Cash line from Folsom Prison Blues (“Always be a good boy, don’t ever play with guns..”), should serve as a warning to all. However, it evidently wasn’t on the mind of Mark Anthony Cheers, of Sydney, when he started playing with a gun he found. As he twirled it around his finger, showing it off to his friend, Phillip Marino, the gun discharged, shooting Marino in the nuts. Painful. He subsequently lost 15% of his right testicle. A new meaning to getting blown off in the car.

And all this brings to mind the even worse tale of the Welsh rugby fan who cut off his own testicles after Wales managed a surprise victory against England in 2005.
