Severely Faithful
2006 At-Risk Survivor
Confirmed True by Darwin

Darwin says, "DISQUALIFIED June 2009 because it's more 'eww' and 'crazy' than an unfortunate decision based on faulty reasoning."

(26 May 2006, Malaysia) A woman found a text message from another woman her husband's phone. A bitter argument ensued. In a desperate effort to prove his faithfulness, her 41-year-old husband rushed from the room and cut off his own penis! In earlier times, he would have succeeded in ending his reproductive days. But modern medicine is miraculous. The organ was reattached by doctors, and the man earns an At-Risk Survivor for his heroic, but ultimately unsuccessful, effort to remove himself from the gene pool.

An eww medical story... with a happy ending.

Reader comment: "We must resist temptation to laugh at the irony that the candidate's wife might resent a lack of future sexual favors from her husband, more than she resented his provision of those favors to another women. We must assume that he knew his wife better than we do."
