Speaking of foreign bodies in bodily orifices...

Recently, I mentioned a case of fishing line inserted in a patient's urethra that had to be removed by a urologist.

Now I've become aware of an even odder case, of a woman who managed to hide a loaded pistol in her vagina. She managed to go through a pat-down:

Move over, Bond girls.

A Ross County jail inmate hid a gun so well that not even the guards who did an extensive pat-down found it.

The Cleveland woman hid a loaded handgun inside her body and smuggled it all the way to her jail cell, where it accidentally fired when she was trying to hide it.

"While in the holding cell, she removed a .25-caliber semiautomatic from her vaginal cavity," Chillicothe Police Capt. Tom Hewitt said yesterday.

Victoria Lundy, 41, hid the gun in the toilet-paper holder. It fell to the floor and discharged. The bullet lodged in the ceiling as guards scrambled to quickly recover the weapon, Hewitt said.

Yikes.

No further comment is necessary other than that it figures she'd have to have been from Cleveland. (I lived in Cleveland for eight years.)

Two Polish women were caught smuggling vodka over the Polish-German border in the same cavity.

Looks like Polish custom officers are better than American jail guards ;-)

You can always tell the caliber of a woman by......well, .25 isn't that large really. Now a .38, that would be special.

I can hide a .38. And, uh . . . my boyfriend's got one.

Sorry. Bad taste problem here.

No; those women were fools to try to pass vodka past a polish official, without him realizing it. The nose always knows.

Those guards were pistol whipped is all.

There was a story in the Toronto press many years ago, were a woman had to be hospitalized, to remove a beer bottle, from her vagina, after a party.

Surprised no one's made a remark about just how lucky this woman was on the timing of when the gun discharged. Egad.
