Jesus wept.

I mean it's not funny, but

I would hate to be the person charged with "monitoring" the suspect until the evidence appeared. Just saying.

Jesus wept.

Gross. No one is going to want that egg now.

I will assume that individual is thinking the same as you... "I mean its not funny, but"

Yikes!
I can't even get a hair on my tongue without freaking out.

I also know it's not funny but the observer is like a modern version of "keeper of the stool"

I hope all will go smoothly in the passage of time.

"A spokesperson said the $NZ33,000 ($A28,700) Fabergé pendant was recovered from the man's gastrointestinal tract on Thursday night by natural means.

Medical intervention was not required."

And it said it took six days.
Do some people go that long without needing to "go"

Or was he trying not to.

He might have used the toilet a few times within those days but not passed (digested) the egg yet. It doesn't look like the most comfortable thing for the body to process and I would hate to be the person on stand by for the inspection!
