Doofus Of The Day #100


Yes!!!
We did it! Our tenth Doofus of this week is also our 100th Doofus - a centenary of Doofi!

Today's landmark award goes to an unnamed clergyman in England.

A vicar claims a potato got stuck up his bottom after he fell on to the vegetable while hanging curtains in the nude.

The clergyman, in his 50s, told medical staff at Sheffield's Northern General Hospital that the accident was definitely not due to a sex game.

He had to undergo surgery to extract the spud from his backside, according to The Sun.

A&E nurse Trudi Watson told the paper: "He explained to me, quite sincerely, he had been hanging curtains naked in he kitchen when he fell backwards on to the kitchen table and on to a potato.

"But it's not for me to question his story."

She went on to reveal other objects removed from people's derriére, including a cucumber, a Russian doll and a carnation.


Hanging curtains naked in the kitchen, eh? Uh-huh . . .

One hopes the doctors got it out in one piece, and didn't have to cut it up to remove it. That way, he'd have had his chips!

Maybe the potato was food for Richard Gere's gerbil.
