Scorpion on a plane -- passenger gets pantful of pain http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/01/10/sco....ap/index.html MONTPELIER, Vermont (AP) -- A scorpion stung David Sullivan on the back of his right leg, just below the knee, then crawled up and down his left leg, he thinks, before getting him again in the shin. Not what he was expecting on his flight home from Chicago to Vermont. Sullivan, a 46-year-old builder from Stowe, was aboard the United Airlines flight on the second leg of his trip home from San Francisco, where he and his wife, Helena, had been visiting their sons. He awoke from a nap shortly before landing and noticed something strange. (Watch when the scorpion scrambled from underneath his pants ) "My right leg felt like it was asleep, but that was isolated to one spot, and it felt like it was being jabbed with a sharp piece of plastic or something." The second sting came after the plane had landed and the Sullivans were waiting for their bags at the luggage carousel. Sullivan rolled up his cuff to investigate, and the scorpion fell out. "It felt like a shock, a tingly thing. Someone screamed, 'It's a scorpion,"' Sullivan recalled. Another passenger stepped on the two-inch arachnid, and someone suggested Sullivan seek medical help. He scooped up the scorpion and headed to the hospital in Burlington. His wife stopped at the United counter and was told the plane they were on had flown from Houston to Chicago. The Sullivans surmised the scorpion boarded in Texas. "The airlines tell you you can't bring water or shampoo on a plane," Helena Sullivan said. But the scorpion did make it aboard, she said. United spokeswoman Robin Urbanski said the incident "is something that we will investigate and look into. We're very sorry for what happened. Our customer safety and security is our No. 1 priority." Scorpion stings are rarely fatal, except to babies or older people with health problems, said Dr. Stephen Leffler, director of emergency services at Burlington's Fletcher Allen Health Care hospital. "We don't see many scorpion bites in Vermont," Leffler said. For a healthy adult, a scorpion sting can mean numbness or shooting pain, or flu-like symptoms, which Sullivan said he had the next day. He said he hadn't seen the recent movie, "Snakes on a Plane," starring Samuel L. Jackson. "I'm pretty selective about what I see," Sullivan said. "Maybe I have to see it now."

He's a builder by trade and when he experiences the pain he describes it as being 'jabbed with a sharp piece of plastic '. How would that differ from the more likely 'jabbed with a wood splinter' or 'jabbed with a nail', given his profession? And is the sensation that much different in any case? Maybe he's a composite laminator?

OMG! So funny. I never heard of balls and cock referred to as a happy-sack and bean pole before. I would like to think of them as two meat balls and a kielbasa. Yeah, you can call it "The Day My Balls Exploded." HEHEEHEHEHEHEHE that was a good one.
