What You Should Do With Morons: Detect 'em, Collect 'em, Inspect 'em-- but not Elect 'em

A suspected British thief who was impaled by a sharp spike on the top of a museum security fence in his rectum for two hours earlier last month says he did not feel any pain because he was drunk.

32-year-old tough man Siyanda Pasiwe denied trying to break into the museum, but claimed he had been in the museum grounds to sleep off a drinking session. Because it was late and he was drunk, he decided to go into the museum grounds to sleep it off before walking home.

“I woke up and decided to continue walking home, but when I saw a tree I thought I would be able to jump to the other side,” he told reporters. When he fell on the fence he did not feel the spike piercing his bottom and thought the fence had an electric force that was holding him to it. “I thought that the electric fence had a mechanism to keep me glued to it,” Pasiwe said.

He says he had screamed for someone to come and rescue him and not because he was in pain. Pasiwe was impaled by a 12-inch metal spike at the museum’s security fence after what police suspect was an attempt to break into the museum. The police said he probably panicked after an alarm went off, after he allegedly broke a glass door. His screams were heard by a tow truck driver who called the police and fire department.

Fire and rescue workers used an angle grinder to cut the steel spike off the fence. Medical staff at the hospital, where the spike was removed, said Pasiwe had suffered severe rectal and intestinal injuries . Apparently, there was no lasting injuries to his pride.
