Why I Love the New York Post

Y'know, it just is what it is, the New York Post, without apologies . . .


PENIS PATIENT IS RE-'MEMBERED'

By ANDY GELLER

September 19, 2006 -- Chinese surgeons performed the world's first penis transplant - but the patient couldn't mentally rise to the occasion and they had to remove it.

The patient was a 44-year-old man whose organ was reduced to a 2-inch stump in an accident. In a 15-hour operation, surgeons attached a penis from a brain-dead man. But they were forced to remove it two weeks later because the patient couldn't adjust to it.


I guess you can say this poor guy really got the shaft.

I'm sure that the patient, in this case, would prefer to get the shaft. I'll eschew posting the lyrics to Monty Python's Penis Song, but rest assured I'm humming it right now.
