The things people do for love

It seems like every few months you hear a story like this one out of southeast Asia. Must be something in the water.

A man who apparently severed his penis in an attempt to convince his wife that he was faithful to her was recovering after surgery to reattach the organ at a northern Malaysian hospital, a news report said Tuesday.

The 41-year-old man, who was not identified, got into an argument last Friday with his wife, who found a text message on his mobile phone from another woman. The man was heard by his son shouting that he wanted to prove he was not having an affair, the New Straits Times reported.

Um, the only thing that really proves is that you're not playing with a full deck.

But I guess this probably will prevent him from having any future affairs. And, quite possibly, peeing while standing.
