48-year old Viorel Firoiu of Orlea, Romania, admits he was drunk when he tried to cure his constipation by sticking a hammer in his rectum. He went to a hospital where x-rays revealed not one, but two hammerheads inside!
The hammerheads had to be removed surgically. http://www.austriantimes.at/image/7802/news/Around_the_World/2009-07-22/14921/Heavy_metal_cure_for_constipation
Dr Cristina Bontescu, spokeswoman for the local hospital where he turned up at the emergency unit, said: "He was a bit drunk and said he had been eating cherries that had left him badly constipated. He said he had a few drinks to dull the pain and then came up with the idea of poking a hammerhead up his backside in the hope of sorting out the constipation.
"But the hammerhead got stuck and then he came up with the idea of using a second hammerhead in order to try and get out the first - but then he lost the second one as well."

Best opening sentence ever.
I have never laughed so hard at neatorama comments. thank you all.
I think this guy had other things in mind with the hammers, if y'all catch my drift.
A distant 3rd may be: Lost a bet.
But hey, he's got a great story to tell.
