Whistling down the wind…
I’m obliged to the online Metro newspaper for reporting the medical tale of an elderly chap who presented with collapsed lungs and air circulating within his abdomen. Apparently some of the trapped air escaped with a whistling sound through an unrelated open wound in his, er, bawbag!
As the attending medics’ report states: Our case of pneumoscrotum from suspected spontaneous bilateral pneumothoraces was unusual. Well, you’d hope so, wouldn’t you!?
And here’s the limerick thus inspired…
There was once a musician called Billy
Who played on his trumpet quite shrilly.
His close harmonising
Was really surprising,
When he whistled the tune through his willy!
