Doctors in France have had to remove a World War I bomb from the rectum of an 88-year-old man, French outlet Var-Matin reports.

According to the news site, the anonymous senior went to Hospital Sainte Musse in Toulon to remove the 8-inch artillery shell from his anus, which was reportedly inserted for sexual pleasure.

Doctors at the hospital were not just concerned about the medical needs of the senior but also that the explosive could detonate in the hospital. However, it was quickly determined that the risk of an explosion was minimal.

A spokesperson for Hospital Sainte Musse told the Daily Mail that the incident last Saturday required the ā€œintervention of bomb disposal personnel, the evacuation of adult and pediatric emergencies, as well as the diversion of incoming emergencies.ā€

According to the Mail, the bomb was commonly used by the French military in the early 1900s and is now a collector’s item from World War I.

The spokesperson also told the news site that the elderly man is now recovering well and was in ā€œgood healthā€ after the 8-inch long and 2-inch wide shell was removed from his anus.

Last year, bomb disposal experts were called to a hospital in Gloucester, England, after a man told doctors that a World War II anti-tank shell was lodged inside of him.

I wonder why rainy days always make me want to grab my camera and go outside.

Why does everything look greener in the rain? The colors feel deeper, softer, more alive.

A lot of people don't like rainy days.

But I love them.

Life has sunny days, and it has rainy days too.

Neither is better than the other. They just have different ways of being beautiful.

Maybe life isn't about waiting for the rain to pass.

Maybe it's about learning how to enjoy every kind of weather.

This is my old HS football helmet. Found it in the closet.

I played offensive line and used to lead with my head a lot. I see a lot of other people's helmets that they've kept. And they never have marks like this, not even remotely close. Was my helmet just cheap, or poorly made? When should the CTE kick in?
