When old ammunition can be a pain in the ...

A serious case of shell-shock for the doctors​

There was a bomb scare at a hospital in France when an 88-year-old Frenchman arrived with an eight-inch (sic) World War One artillery shell stuck in his rectum.

The unnamed senior citizen arrived at the Hospital Sainte Musse in Toulon, southern France, one Saturday evening in the hope of having the bomb removed from his anus.

For some reason this doesn’t surprise me.
Nowt as queer as folk, as they say….

I know some folk need a 'rocket up the arse', but ....

A nail and a sharp blow from a hammer would have easily removed it.

It may be 8 inches long but it's not an 8 inch shell.

It never fails to astound me what folks can smuggle via the Chatham pocket. True human endeavour. Brings a tear to the eye.

Look now. Perfectly simple explanation I think. He was probably taking it down for dusting from a high up shelf and had put it down on the chair he'd stood on to reach it. And then fell backwards on top of it. And likely with it being winter and his radiators full on he'd maybe taken all his clothes off so as to not have his body overheat whilst doing his dusting chores?

OTOH when I attended jurisprudence and toxicology lectures at Leeds in the mid-1970s there was one still memorable black and white slide of a young man who'd anally impaled himself on a broomstick and fallen with fatal results. At post mortem they removed the organs and then reassembled them as "skewered" and photographed the ensemble.

You’re assuming smuggling, could just have been a casual butt plug situation

Nah, the picture was just taken from really far away.

It looks like a 37mm "pom pom" round, or 2Lbr short

Poor old fella - he probably ate it the night before…
Anyhoo - Pal’s Mrs is a nurse in A&E - many tales of individual derring-dos - including one gentleman with a 40 watt lightbulb stuck in precisely the same location - bulb first. I didn’t dare ask how they knew it was 40 watt….
