An 'asparagus-sized' eel has been removed from a man's bottom after an emergency operation in New Zealand, it has been revealed.

The unidentified man showed up at Auckland City Hospital's A&E department last week to get treatment for his embarrassing problem.

Hospital staff sent the patient for X-rays and a scan, which confirmed that the eel was lodged inside him, according to local media reports.

'The eel was about the size of a decent sprig of asparagus and the incident is the talk of the place,' a hospital source told the New Zealand Herald

'Doctors and nurses have come across people with strange objects that have got stuck where they shouldn't be before, but an eel has to be a first.'

It is believed the eel was successfully removed from inside the man, who was later discharged.

The unlikely incident was confirmed this week by the Auckland District Health Board.

'We can confirm that an adult male presented at Auckland City Hospital this week with an eel inside him,' a spokesman said.

He added: 'No further comment will be made out of respect for the patient's right to privacy.'

In 2008 a vicar claimed a potato got stuck up his bottom after he fell on to the vegetable while hanging curtains in the nude.

However, it remains unclear how the eel managed to get stuck inside the man.

Remember reading a story in the Daily Sport like this, a guy claimed he slipped on a bit of butter while making crumpets naked and fell on a milk bottle which he had to have removed from his ass

I guess we'll never get to the bottom of it

He sounds like a bit of an ass tbh.:joker:

all good jokes

Watch for slippery surfaces.

He also milked it a bit.

I wonder if it was live or dead when it was inserted? *shudders*
