Story time.
When I was in middle school, one of the places where students weren’t least supervised was the physical education field outdoors. It was your regular run of the mill school field…football field, basketball courts, and handball courts.
Well, the handball courts were particularly popular, since if you went to the backside of them, no one could see you.
So one day, a kid named Jeff Karnos decides to jump the fence by the handball courts. I forget why exactly, I think he went to fetch a ball. Well, he fell off the top of the fence, and those pesky middle school P.E. shorts they make you wear did little to protect his scrotum and he landed on top of a sprinkler, impaling his scrotum.
Now, the main issue with this was the fact that the sprinkler actually went all the way through his scrotum.The fire department has to be called and they needed to cut the sprinkler head off to take him to the hospital.
You have any idea how difficult it is for three PE teachers to wrangle up 2-300 kids? Well, they couldn’t.
So we all gathered on the other side of the fence to watch the fire department free Jeff and his nuts from the grasp of the sprinkler. It was pretty terrible.
Jeff only has one testicle now. I re tell this story at least once a decade to keep the memory alive. Enjoy!
