Why I cut my tackle: rugby fan

November 15, 2005

A RUGBY fan who cut out his testicles with wire cutters to mark a Wales
victory is at a loss to explain why he did it.

Geoffrey Huish, 31, performed the impromptu self-surgery in February
when his beloved Wales beat world champion England.

After performing the deed, Mr Huish put his severed anatomy in a bag
and took them to his local social club to show fellow fans.

He collapsed with blood loss and was rushed to hospital but surgeons
could not reattach his missing parts.

He was put in a psychiatric ward but has no history of mental illness
and was at a loss to explain why he did it.

"I'd told my pal Gethin Probert before the game that Wales didn't stand
a chance," Mr Huish said.

"It wasn't a bet but I said I'd cut my balls off if we won.

"I listened to the game on the radio at home by myself.

"After the match I got up for a pee and saw the cutters in the
bathroom.

"Gethin had left them after repairing the chain on my toilet.

"I remembered what I'd said and thought he had left them for me.

"I thought 'Oh no, I haven't got to do anything like that have I' and
then I thought 'You can do it'.

"So I started hacking away at my tackle.

"It took about 10 minutes and there was quite a bit of pain but I just
kept going.

"The cutters were blunt so I had to keep snipping."

After picking his testicles from the toilet bowl, he went to the social
club.

"I went in and shouted out 'I've done it!'," Mr Huish said.

"I took my balls out and passed them in the bag to a friend.

"Some people then laid me on the floor."

Mr Huish continues to see a psychiatrist.

"I think about what happened every day and still haven't come up with a
good reason why," he said.

"I'd had a lot going on and felt a bit down.

"I can't have kids now but still want a family - maybe I'll adopt."

Ahh... Wales, land of the Kilshaws, I wonder whether he'll be allowed to
adopt, I wouldn't be at all surprised.

This just sort of sums the whole thing up, doesn't it.  I mean, he's
STILL trying to come up with a "good" reason why he cut his own balls
off, and took 10 minutes with a dull blade in doing so.

In India, there's a Punjabi expression: "Moochh ka sawaal" -- a
question of the mustache.

It's something like honor, something like macho pride.

Or it could have had something to do with blood-alcohol levels.

I have a hard time equating self-castration with macho pride.  Maybe
it's a guy thing.

Again, I've had my blood-alcohol level pretty high at various times in
my life, and I can't ever recall thinking it would be a good idea to
take a rusty knife to my boys (so to speak).

Maybe he can break new ground by singing coloratura in the local male
voice choir.
