Stick this up your ass!

After spending the last few years wondering what the hell is the matter with my teenaged son I think I have the answer.

Watching a Discovery Channel TV program called "inside the teenaged mind," I found out that teenagers do not have a fully developed frontal cortex in their brains. This means their powers of reasoning have not been fully developed yet.

In other words they don't have a sense of normal limits, or what we adults would call common sense!

This is a partial explanation for the prank this guy guy in Britain pulled and makes me think my kid might not be that far gone after all. (Relatively speaking.)

A man has suffered severe internal injuries after trying to launch a powerful firework from his ass, it emerged today. (no pun intended)

It was thought that the 19-year-old was trying to copy a scene from the 2002 film Jackass: The Movie, which has long been condemned by safety campaigners and blamed for inspiring dangerous pranks.

At the end of a firework display in the Monkwearmouth area of Sunderland on Sunday the man is reported to have got down on all fours, lowered his trousers and bent over, then fixed a Black Cat Thunderbolt rocket to himself in front of a group of friends

One witness described how he stood up and initially appeared to be unhurt, but then stumbled and fell to the ground. It became clear he was bleeding and paramedics and police were called to the scene.

A spokeswoman for the North East Ambulance Service said: "We received a call stating there was a male who had a firework in his bottom and it was bleeding. He was attended to and taken to Sunderland Royal hospital."

The man was reported to be suffering from a scorched colon and extreme stupidity and is still in hospital. Lying on his stomach!

This also explains why the only men we can get to go to war are young people. If they asked a fifty year old like myself to go to war they would probably have to look for me in the Northern Ontario bush, or Sweden.
