The man was a military enthusiast who found the shell while clearing out, but somehow "tripped" and fell onto the 57mm piece of army ordnance that landed him in hospital, according to The Sun.

Knowing Gloucester that's probably not the worst thing they've seen wedged up the back passage.

It's amazing how easily things can get lodged up there when you fall on them and they're already lubricated.

The condom was placed over it to keep dust off.

My mother-in-law spent her career as a theatre nurse - she has told me a number of funny stories about foreign body removal.

Kentucky's Republican representative, Thomas Massie, tweeted the photo with the caption: "Merry Christmas! ps. Santa, please bring ammo"
Stay classy, Kentucky. :?

This is so sexist and ageist - how come the young daughter gets the little one. That is disgusting in this day and age. Fairness for all - at least give her that big rifle with the long barrel, she looks like she held one before

I'm used to Americans having access to assault rifles, but that's a god damn machinegun. I bet he can't wait to defend his home by laying down suppressing fire while his team of security guards flank right and defend the burglars brains out. Perhaps he could call in a mortar team to make really sure his family and possessions are safe. I'm looking forward to next year's christmas photo where he's holding a GAU-8 Avenger.

It's not often you get a Christmas photo where Ride of the Valkyries would be more appropriate than Jingle Bells.

A Christmas card with all their cocks out would’ve been less offensive than whatever the fuck that’s suppose to be. It’s like something the Taliban would send, only more terrifying.

That is a very interesting comparison I've never thought of before, fine point sir :-k (I mean the Taliban, not the cocks out bit...)

There are many things I'm not keen on with American culture, but their gun culture is just next level in that regard. When you can pose for a family photo wielding a light machine gun that would make even our own armed response police force blush you know there's something not quite right. You just know that every posing American in photos like that sees themselves as the hero of their own little story.

I think it's totally abhorrent.

Especially as it is fresh on the back of the Oxford school shootings last week, and the arrest of the kid and then his parents. America's most "pro-life" people—currently on the mission of overturning legal abortion and restricting a woman's right to bodily autonomy—pass off daily school shootings as "the price you pay for freedom".
Everything on the internet is 100% true.
