Beware your tool when running power tools.

Man accidentally cuts off own penis

WANTAGE, England, July 5 (UPI) -- A 54-year-old carpenter in Wantage, England, accidentally cut off his own penis while working with a saw, his mother says.

Stuart Keen's mother, Edna, told The Sunday Telegraph her son had been cutting wood for a cabinet when the saw inflicted the horrific injury. Surgeons were able to reattach the severed appendage, she said.

"Stuart is a carpenter and uses sharp and sometimes dangerous tools," Keen's mother said.

"This was an unfortunate accident but these things happen all the time to people in his profession."

A South Central Ambulance Service spokesman said paramedics found him bleeding in his bathtub.

"I have spoken to him and he is quite embarrassed about the whole incident," Keen's mother told the Telegraph.

I once knew a guy who was damn near mauled in a genitally-oriented way when a piece of wood he was trying to cross-cut came flying off the table saw. Said piece of wood bounced off a Michael Jackson cassette in the guy's pocket, cracking it diagonally in half.

(Edited for repetitious wood.)

I bet it's a little shorter now.

This is why running an electric lathe always scares me.

And its a LOT bigger than a table saw.

No way to sew on hamburger.

Was it bad? No, but a thriller none the less!

Sorry, forgive me!
