The 30-year-old became entangled in the equipment when a malfunction caused the mechanism to move on the impact of the man hitting the end of the flying fox line - trapping his nether regions, The Star reported. ...

“The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”

I thought it was like a flying squirrel and just wanted to find out how he got it in one.
