I couldn't stop laughing this morning when I read this on the back page of De Paper:

DENMARK: A man having surgery on his backside broke wind and set his genitals alight. A surgeon was removing a mole on his backside with an electric knife when the man broke wind, lighting a spark. His genitals has been washed with surgical spirits and caught fire. He's suing the hospital for pain and suffering and loss of income. He said he had to take extra time off work and can't have sex with his wife. The hostpital said it was an unfortunate accident. "When I woke up my penis and scrotum were burning like hell," the man told Danish Newspaper BT. Surgeon Dr Jorn Kristensen said: "No one considered the possibility the man would break wind during the operation, let alone that it would catch fire. It was an unfortunate accident."

The headline? "Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire"
