Among the good times one can have with an unconscious friend, few surpass the joy born of snapping a padlock around the slumbering man's testicles. For a 39-year-old Brentwood, New Hampshire, man, that thrill ride kept him snared for two weeks before he finally decided he was going to have to ask for help.

According to Brentwood Police Cpl. H. D. Wood, the man woke from a bout with the bottle to find his friend had snapped a padlock around the top of his scrotum. While the friend was good enough to leave the key behind, it broke in the lock when the man tried to loose his goods. He then tried unsuccessfully to cut through the lock with a hacksaw. After two weeks, he called an ambulance.

"We're not sure if it was a prank, or if it was an intentional act or something done during a sexual act," Wood said.

The man was brought to hospital, where doctors called a locksmith. He was released without lasting injuries.
