Did you hear the one about the monkey and the testicles and the birthday cake?
Mack “John Cheese” Leighty sends me this link, with the instructions, “This is fucking awesome, but you have to read the whole thing. You’ll want to stop, because you’ll think you know what the story is about, but you have to keep reading.”
Do what he says. You won’t regret it.
In print journalism they talk about the inverted pyramid structure, where you put the important facts at the top of the story because 1) you know many people will not read very far and 2) if the editors need to cut for space, they can just lop of the less important facts at the end. That’s why newspaper stories seem to just peter out rather than building up to some kind of conclusion.
I personally believe that this reporter just started making shit up and sticking it on at the end, just to see if anyone was reading that far. And I believe that he is a genius.

I was just talking to a friend about how we don’t laugh at things that are supposed to be funny on the netz and kind of just smile at them at most. Then I read this and couldn’t stop laughing. Thanks, Wong.

I too could not stop laughing out loud. Thank you for sharing.

Oh man, I haven’t had that good a laugh in weeks. Thanks Wong!

I actually saw this guy, the one who got his balls ripped off on Montel Williams a couple years back. Unfortunately for Mr. Davis and quite fortunate for the internet this story is true.
Brian Posehn even did a bit about it on his album Nerd Rage.

I should rephrase that. The guy didn’t have his balls ripped off on Montel Williams. They were ripped off by a monkey and then he went on Montel Williams.

What a terrible way to have your balls ripped off.

Because there are so many good ways to have your balls ripped off?

I thought the guy was making it all up too, until I saw the picture of the poor noseless bastard at the top of the article. That sort of killed my giggleboner.

His balls weren’t ripped off. They were chewed off.
