Man stung in testicles by scorpion at the Venetian

Just imagine if Dean Martin was still alive today.

In honor of this incident he would probably change the song title & lyrics of Ain’t that a kick in the head? To Ain’t that a sting in the nuts?

That picture looks INCREDIBLY photoshopped. :/

The linked article has other pictures, I don’t think the picture is photoshopped but the whole story sounds suspicious.

Searching the web, it appears that scorpions are usually not capable of climbing up beds or furniture because their legs are too short. Maybe Pinching your balls can confirm this.

Also underwear almost always has elastic so it wouldn’t have been able to climb inside his underwear to get to his nuts, it would have had to sting his nuts through his underwear which scorpions are capable of stinging through clothes.

He is also suing for loss of consortium because the nut sting has made it difficult to service his wife.

I suspect the whole thing is bullshit, but you never know. Truth can be stranger than fiction.

I went to a Scorpions concert in a park when I lived in Munich. I was a fan before seeing them live, and I'm an even bigger fan today. Unlike most rock bands, their music has some heart. A co-worker who knew them took me to the Hofbrauhaus afterwards where I met them as we guzzled a few dunkles and had German food galore (which I don't like at all).

V you would have enjoyed the park. Lots of young women sun bathing with their tops off.

What impedes scorpions climbing is their weight. The big ones tend to fall before they can get very high but the little ones climb as well as spiders. That's why many people put their bed posts inside smooth cups and put some bug poison in the cups. Even if something managed to climb up the cup it would fall into the liquid and die before climbing up the bed post. The scorpion in the picture is very tiny when you compare it to the size of the black thread stitching on the underwear. It could easily have climbed into the bed on its own.

Ah, that makes sense, thank you.

And you had mentioned earlier that it was one of your cousins & he was actually going for the butthole & not the nuts.

I noticed it’s eyes were also very small so maybe it couldn’t tell the difference?

Or maybe the guy was sleeping on his back & therefore the butthole was completely inaccessible so it went for I guess what it perceived as the next best thing, the nuts?

Seems like the butthole would be the much more preferable place to get stung, because even though it might swell up from the sting there are a variety of foods that could be eaten to open it back up.

The nuts though is pretty rough for a whole host of reasons.

Fun fact: This photo was taken after a fan in Munich had given them all hummers.

Gotta jump in and mention the seminal work about a cute groupie chick sucking and fucking "famous" band members' members back in the day:

So you think it's too good looking to be a real scorpion?

I JUST had this thought literally about THREE seconds ago. If the man had TRULY been stung in his testicles by a scorpion, he'd be too busy writhing around in pain to be taking a picture of the scorpion. I mean, I had a bunch of red ants sting me in my feet recently, and I was in so much pain that I was focused on getting them off of me, not even THINKING of taking pictures of them. Guy being stung in his testicles would be a pain about 100 times worse than being stung in feet by red ants.

More importantly have you found where he hangs out online and PM’d him for a loan if he gets a settlement?

And you missed a huge money making opportunity. A video of you dancing around after being stung by red ants would have went viral and made you rich.

I'll ask one of my distant cousins in Florida to sting you in the nuts so you can compare.

I don't know....I've been stung by a scorpion (twice) and of course by red fire ants. No way the scorpions' stings were worse than what those ants did.

But---a black foot getting attacked by a bunch of fire ants may not be that bad. With that leather-like coating along with the enhanced aroma of ammonia emanating from between those ugly toes, I can see why the experience wouldn't seem as severe as a scorpion sting.

Tasha has no nuts, but she IS nuts.

She keeps her hideous handbag filled with scorpions and leaves them where ever she goes...sort of like Johnny Appleseed but with scorpions.

She's seriously into schadenfreude.

Hard to argue with your impeccable logic.

Of course there is always the slight chance that since the scorpion in the photo is dead he waited until after the pain in his nuts subsided prior to taking the picture at a later time,

I discussed this in March on my show.
