Father
O'Malley, the new priest is nervous about hearing confessions,
so he asks the older priest to sit in on his sessions. The
new priest hears a couple of confessions, then the old priest
asks him to step out of the confessional for a few suggestions.
The old priest suggests, "Cross you arms over your
chest, and rub your chin with one hand." The new priest
tries this.
The old priest suggests, "Try saying things like, 'I
see, yes, go on, I understand and how did you feel about
that?" The new priest says those things.
The old priest says, "Now, don't you think that's a
little better than slapping your knee and saying 'No shit!
What happened next"
What's a penis worth? $795,000, according to a court
ruling.
The court in Bucharest, Romania, ordered a doctor to pay that amount
in compensation after surgery that went horribly wrong.
The Romanian surgeon was ordered to hand over the money to a patient
whose penis he accidentally severed during a botched operation.
The court was told that in July 2004, Dr. Naum Ciomu made a surgical
error while operating on the man's testicles, severing the penis instead
of making an incision to the testicle.
