Woman has pencil removed from head - Yahoo! News

Things that make ya go “ouuuch”!

Snippet: After being plagued for 55 years with the torment of a pencil lodged in her head, a German woman has finally had it removed.

Okay, one more snippet:
Margaret Wegner, now 59, was 4 years old when she fell while carrying the 3.15 inch-long pencil, which went through her cheek and into her brain.

“It bored right through the skin and disappeared into my head,” Wegner told Germany’s best-selling newspaper, Bild. “It hurt like crazy.”

Um, yeah! I should think it hurt like crazy!

Thank goodness for modern technology and Frau Wegner was able to have the damn pencil removed. Can you imagine? 55 years with a pencil in your head?!

  1. I felt queasy just reading that! If I was aware I had a pencil stuck in my brain, I would have gone insane. Thank heavens for technology!
