In February, Amanda Monti, 24, of Birkenhead, England, was sentenced to 30
months in jail for ripping off one of her ex-boyfriend's testicles with her
bare hands in a rage over his refusal to have sex. (According to witnesses,
Monti briefly hid the testicle in her mouth, but a friend retrieved it and
handed it back to the man, saying, "That's yours.") Also in February, Welsh
rugby fan Geoff Huish, 26, was so certain Wales would lose to England that he
told club patrons in Caerphilly that he'd "cut (his) balls off" if Wales won.
Immediately following Wales' 11-9 victory, Huish went home, fulfilled his
promise, and walked, gingerly, back to the club to show that he was a "man" of
his word. [Reuters, 2-10-05] [Reuters, 2-8-05]
