Being the vast archipelago that it is, Indonesia is a source of stories which vary in their content from serious political viewpoint to the sublimely ridiculous.
This little gem from Antara News Agency found itself syndicated world-wide regarding a "painful" incident in Sulewesi:
Bone Bolango - A villager in Bone Bolango district, Gorontalo Province, had to be rushed to hospital on Tuesday after a horse bit off one of his testicles.
The incident occurred when the the victim, Haris, 35, was unloading sand from a horse-drawn cart at a construction site. A witness told Antara on Wednesday that the animal suddenly lunged at Haris and sank its teeth into his crotch.
As bystanders attempted to load Haris into a car to take the badly injured man to Aloe Saboe Hospital, one of the bystanders spotted a piece of flesh on the pavement, which proved to be one of Haris’s testicles. The severed organ was also sent to the hospital.
“Luckily the horse did not chew up or swallow Haris’ testicle but spewed it onto the pavement so I picked it up and brought it to the doctor at the hospital where the victim is being treated,” the witness added.
Meanwhile, Budi, 70, the owner of the horse, said the horse was domesticated but at times it turned wild and bit people if it was upset.
“Sometimes we have to be careful when we are near the horse,” Budi said, adding that the animal once bit a chicken that disturbed it while it was grazing.
One can only wonder if the "bawbag" reattachment was successful?
FG asked did they had sewn it back on?? Yeah right with all that mirco surgery skill and equipment. They just blonked it in place (probably upside down) and stuck two bandaids across it, either that or someone scored an extra in their Bakso.
