Bay Area Man Severs His Own Penis With X-Acto Knife

We've heard of angry women cutting off their man's penis, but a man has to be really upset about something to castrate himself.

According to press reports, Fremont officers were called to the 4300 block of Mowry Avenue about 2 a.m Wednesday after a 20-year-old man had cut off his penis with an X-Acto knife.
Much to our surprise, the victim was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol, Detective Bill Veteran said, yet we still have no idea what motivated the man to sever his private part.

Police were able to locate the man's penis, and doctors are working to reattach the organ.

however, it just fine in GD. (Maybe the next time Tiger Woods makes history, he should chop off his cock on the 18th green. Perhaps that would be GD worthy.)

Okay, I'll sympathize with the cops who had to do this.

Was it the one that looks like a scalpel?

The angled one with the really sharp point?
