KENTUCKY: MAN SUES DOCTOR FOR AMPUTATING HIS PENIS

I can think of no more frightening words for a man than these:

"You have cancer...in your penis..."

Let's face it: there isn't a man alive who would not, if given the choice, rather stare down 1,000 vicious Taliban fighters armed with nothing more than a wet noodle (oh no you didn't!) and a smile, than to hear that his beloved Johnson had become nothing but a deadly tumor hanging between his thighs.

Which brings us to the next question: if a doctor told you that in order to save your life he had to amputate  your Willy, do you think you could live with the result?

Apparently, the answer for one man was a resounding "Hell NO!". Because he's suing the doctor who probably saved his life by removing his Babymaker before it killed him.

TEACHER PUTS 9-YEAR-OLD AUTISTIC BOY IN DUFFEL BAG, PLACED IN HALLWAY

Teachers use different disciplinary measures when their kids misbehave at school. Some take away a snack or activity. Some southern schools use corporal punishment to enforce their rules. Some use the less-effective and more passive timeout. But a teacher at the Mercer County Intermediate School in Harrodsburg, Kentucky has a different method.

Christopher Baker misbehaved on December 14, but instead of doing something disciplinary within reason, his teacher put the autistic 9-year-old inside of a duffel bag. You know those big green army bags with the drawstring at the top? Yep, that's exactly the kind of bag he was put in. Afterwards they called his mother, Sandra Baker to tell her that her son had been "jumping off the walls".

While walking to the classroom she saw the moving bag outside the door. She was thoroughly surprised to hear her son's voice come from it, saying "Mama is that you?" The mother of the fourth-grader was livid. She told the teacher's aide who was standing there to release her son immediately. "He was treated like trash and thrown in the hallway."

When he got out, he was sweaty and wide-eyed. There were small balls inside the bag which was explained further in a meeting. The bag is what the teacher calls a "therapy bag". Students from the special-needs class are normally instructed to lie on the bag and roll back and forth. It's supposed to calm them down. I guess he was so belligerent that they didn't even want to see him until it was time for him to go.

When his mother asked him what happened, he said that he wouldn't do his work, so they put him in the bag. A few days later at a meeting with school officials, they told her that he smirked at the teacher when he was asked to put a basketball down. Then he threw it. Then they threw him in the bag. Sounds different from "jumping off the walls". They told her it was the first time that he was put in the bag. Maybe that's why they didn't realize that putting a child in an army bag for 30 minutes or longer was a problem.

Personally, if that were my son, I'd be going to jail that day. I guarantee it.

What do you think? If that were your child in that thick, sealed army bag, what would you do?
