Kiwis are funny.

A MAN with an eel lodged in his bottom has shown up at a New Zealand emergency department asking for help.

The unnamed man presented himself at the Auckland City Hospital for treatment last week, the New Zealand Herald reported.

X-rays revealed the eel "about the size of a decent sprig of asparagus," a hospital source told the newspaper.

"The incident is the talk of the place. Doctors and nurses have come across people with strange objects that have got stuck where they shouldn't before, but an eel has to be a first."

The eel was removed and the man went on his way. The hospital confirmed the story to the newspaper, but revealed no further details in order to protect the man's privacy.

It was not clear how the eel had found its way inside the man. According to the newspaper, eels are secretive, nocturnal and prefer habitats with plenty of cover.

Meanwhile, the man's ewe has filed for divorce.

Good choice, he'd have saved up on lube.

Snoozies short on gerbils?

There's an Indian snake-charmer and and boiled egg joke that comes to mind.

I assume that Ponts will read this and wonder what Jarryd Hayne was doing in New Zealand

You would think the eel could make a ewe turn.


Yeah, hat, coat, the whole lot.

It's probably the most penetrative than any Eel has been all year.

What is not clear? Supply and demand, obviously.

This site boggles the mind - as well as some other parts, whether you want them boggled or not. Some people clearly have more than a bit of explaining to do...

By the way - what did you type into Google to get you there?

just remembered reading that story last year. so went to google and typed 'eel stuck in penis' and bingo

Eel regret this when he's older.

Coatage.

Syphon the python - in Kiwi = Enter the eel

Just as well they don't have any Candiru catfish in NZ

That search leads to some mighty funny stories of huge embarassment, like this one...

Pretty insensitive of the police to take pics. One must sympathise with the poor guy for being capable of getting it in in the first place...

A moray in a Maori?

I hope for his sake it wasn't a moray...

Aye, that'd be a 'elver accommodation.

No mention of electric eels.

By that time he probably couldn't tell the difference.

Well, with so many posts, I thought this would be a threasurrection. Seems that nothing gets this place going like a fish up the shitbox.
