Perhaps there will be some followup. Anyone in the UK hear of this?

WANTAGE, England, July 5 (UPI) -- A 54-year-old carpenter in Wantage, England, accidentally cut off his own penis while working with a saw, his mother says.

Stuart Keen's mother, Edna, told The Sunday Telegraph her son had been cutting wood for a cabinet when the saw inflicted the horrific injury. Surgeons were able to reattach the severed appendage, she said.

"Stuart is a carpenter and uses sharp and sometimes dangerous tools," Keen's mother said.

"This was an unfortunate accident but these things happen all the time to people in his profession."

A South Central Ambulance Service spokesman said paramedics found him bleeding in his bathtub.

"I have spoken to him and he is quite embarrassed about the whole incident," Keen's mother told the Telegraph.

"All the time"? Really? Got any numbers to back that up?

In any case, you gotta feel sorry for the guy, and wish him the best possible recovery. However, for guys that really do wish to lose their penis, I guess "accidentally" would be the way to go. Should prevent a trip to the psych ward, and having to explain it to your family & friends.
