Medical staff had to halt the procedure, fearing a possible explosion. The hospital, unfamiliar with such protocols, immediately alerted the authorities, and around 1:40 a.m., police arrived and activated the bomb squad. The team established a security perimeter to neutralize the device so surgery could continue, though no one knew at that stage if the entire operation could blow up at any moment.

If you're sticking bombs up your arse, you clearly don't have much toulouse

On the contrary: if you're able to stick entire bombs up your arse, it's much too loose!

are shells explosive or just heavy/huge bullets? I know the ones with the tiny button on their nose, but I thought it was during WW2.

The most surprising aspect of the case, however, is that this isn’t the first time someone has shown up at a hospital with an explosive projectile lodged in their rectum. In 2022, in Toulon, an 88-year-old man arrived at the hospital with a similar shell in the same location. There was another case in the UK in 2021, although on that occasion the object was somewhat more modern, dating back to World War II.

I'm at a loss for words, how are there multiple cases of guys sticking world war ammunitions up their asses?

In case you're new to the internet, anything remotely available that can fit up a human ass is likely to do so.

Although public service announcement that you should stick to purpose-built butt plugs, if you want to stay out of the hospital.

A man walks into a bar with a waste pipe stuck in his head and orders a drink. "Are you sure you're okay to drink?" asks the bartender. The man replies "I find it a bit draining, but I'm fine."
