In other news from Cairo:
CAIRO (AP) — A 25-year-old Egyptian man cut off his own penis to spite his family after he was refused permission to marry a girl from a lower-class family, police reported Sunday.
After unsuccessfully petitioning his father for two years to marry the girl, the man heated up a knife and sliced off his reproductive organ, a police official said.

It seems this guy didn't want to marry the woman arranged for him by his family.

All I've got to say about this is: "I bet that guy doesn't have the balls to do that again."

(Sorry, couldn't resist) :hide:
