Some people are truly weird

Take, for example, the 70-year-old Australian man who came to the hospital emergency room because he had blood in his urine.  The cause of the blood: he had inserted a 4-inch, 3-tined dessert fork in his urethra for sexual stimulation. Doctors were able to remove it without operating.

The doctors catalogue a list of objects people have willingly inserted in their bodies:
If one reviews current literature, it is apparent that the human mind is uninhibited let alone creative. The wide array of self-inserted foreign bodies include needles, pencils, ball point pens, pen lids, garden wire, copper wire, speaker wire, safety pins, Allen keys, wire-like objects (telephone cables, rubber tubes, feeding tubes, straws, string), toothbrushes, household batteries, light bulbs, marbles, cotton tip swabs, plastic cups, thermometers, plants and vegetables (carrot, cucumber, beans,hay, bamboo sticks, grass leaves), parts of animals (leeches, squirrel tail, snakes, bones), toys, pieces of latex gloves, blue tack, Intrauterine Contraceptive Devices (IUCD), tampons, pessaries, powders (cocaine), fluids (glue, hot wax).
