I didn't even know this was possible...

LONDON (Reuters) - A British woman was sentenced to two and a half years in jail Thursday for ripping off her ex-lover's testicle with her bare hands during a drunken brawl after he refused her sex.

Amanda Monti, 24, flew into a rage in May last year after Geoffrey Jones, 37, who had ended their long-term relationship, rejected her advances.

She grabbed him by the genitals, tearing off his left testicle, then hid it in her mouth before a friend of Jones handed it back to him saying "that's yours."

Monti, of Birkenhead, near Liverpool, pleaded guilty to unlawful wounding at an earlier hearing.

I was in an extended cringe throughout the whole story.

My God.

I heard she tried to swallow it.

She probably had some good fingernails.

It's not the only testicle removing related news we've had here recently, there was also this.

But after the game Huish went home, severed his testicles with a knife, and walked 200 metres back to the bar with the testicles to show the shocked drinkers what he had done.

Ooh! I remember reading the first part of that story on Fark, from when the lady got arrested. It was kinda amusing. The follow-ups fun too, If you go to jail, there's no better way to keep from becoming somebody's bitch than dealing damage to genetalia.

Especially since she ripped it off with her BARE HANDS!!! AAAH!! You know, if some drunken woman lunges at my pants, and tries to remove my jimble jombles. Well, I'd be running. Rather quickly.

*hums*
*RAWR!*

"Eh, hold on a sec... Oh my!"
"I've got your testicle!"
*falls over and cries*

Gah... geez... Bad enough I just finished reading Ichi the killer.

Ack! The bastard is, tomorrow I'll be patying in Birkenhead...

I have a sneeky suspicion this is another one of those "Rurual Myths". Most human nails would snap trying to dig that far into a scrotum... Not to mention the fact you would have to sever the 'connections' as it were between testicle and penis. biting I could see happenning but all nails could do was seriousely tear the flesh up.

Most likely if it was removed it was by biting, or under a knife!

[WhatMeWorry?]

rural myths and urban legends don't usually make news and sentencing in court.

but that's ok, also today was a man who said if wales beat Britain in football he'd chop off his balls. they did and so he left the pub, went home, chopped them off, walked back to the pub and displayed them briefly before losing consciousness. the comment was that he had mental issues. you think?

Er, my father and brother politely requested that I trim my claws if I was going to play basketball with them when I was in high school. My father went to slap the ball out of my hands and impaled himself on my nails. And no, I never, ever have worn fake nails. I ended up having to cut my nails down when I took typing, because the long nails were causing me to hit double keys all the time (on a manual typewriter). And when I played blues guitar, I never bothered learned to flatpick, because my nails were so hard. My nails tend to wear down into funny shapes instead of breaking, or they crack horizontally in a pretty even fracture which just shortens the nail.

The real kicker is that skin is quite tough and stretchy. The old joke about "grab, twist and pull" is off, because you'd have to pull really damn hard to make skin tear. Even if you had nails like mine.

Bad joke, but my first thought was something along the lines of...
"Oh, sure, you swollow NOW! If you did that when we were going out, I never would have left you!"

[Moo Cow]

Eeew...

I'm sure it's physically possible if you pull really really hard. Just like you can rip someone's eye off, or dislocate their finger.
