[snopes]

Firefighters in California said they were called to a hospital for an unusual rescue -- removing a metal ring from a man's penis.

The title of this thread as it appears on the main board page was a bit misleading to me. When I saw the title "Firefighters rescue penis..." I was thinking to myself, "Firefighters have developed a rescue penis? I wonder, what does it do?" I was quite disappointed that the post had absolutely nothing to do with a "rescue penis."

For what it's worth, we've an article about penises trapped in wedding rings.

Hence the importance of punctuation. It didn't say "Firefighters' rescue penis.." now, did it?

It does seem from the headline as if they rescued *just* the penis, though.

Rescue penis to the erm... rescue!

That would be an awesome idea for a cartoon series, though.

That's either a really big wedding ring or a really small penis!

That was my first thought. I imagined a group of firefighters saving a man from a burning building, then gallantly going back in to save his penis.

This reminds me of a thread on the straight dope about fitting wedding rings in the nose.

Mine doesn't fit, even though I have thin fingers and large nostrils...

Or maybe rescuing it from some sort of boxing ring - made of metal - sort of a penile ultimate cage match ring where it was being forced to compete against other penises? Penii?

Have they even finished the penis mightier?

But now and then, I go to a party, get drunk, and the next morning, I can't for the life of me, remember what I did with it.

This was, ironically enough, an episode of Rescue Me. Ironic because in the episode the person who had to get the ring removed from his penis was... another fireman.
