There are a wide variety of things people know you should never do with a knife. For example, everyone knows you should never attach a knife to a rooster’s leg as one unfortunate man found out.
And, one California man reminded us of another thing you shouldn’t do: don’t plunge a butter knife into your stomach to remove a hernia.
Yes, a 63-year-old man from Glendale California was so fed up with his protruding hernia that he grabbed a butter knife in a futile attempt to remove it, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Not that I condone this type of behavior, but you’d think if he really wanted to remove it, he’d use something sharper than a butter knife (don’t try this at home!).
Police found the man lying naked on his front porch, and after he created the hole in his stomach, he shoved a lit cigarette in the wound.
