Oh, I Hate When That Happens…

Oh I HATE when I do that!

How many times do you hear about guys saying “geez, I could have retired if my mom didn’t throw out my old baseball cards when I left for college?”

And remember the story about the asshole dad who wanted to circumcise his son at age 14 against his will?

Well, mix the two stories together and you get the tale of Sun Yaoting.

Only two memories brought tears to Sun Yaoting’s eyes in old age — the day his father cut off his genitals, and the day his family threw away the pickled remains that should have made him a whole man again at death.

His desperate father performed the castration on the bed of their mud-walled home, with no anesthetic and only oil-soaked paper as a bandage. A goose quill was inserted in Sun’s urethra to prevent it getting blocked as the wound healed. (source)
