Man's story about getting testicle stuck in Ikea stool goes viral
A Norwegian man’s account of getting one of his testicles stuck in an Ikea chair while taking a shower has ended up ticking the funny bone of the online community. Claus Jorstad, 45, revealed that he had purchased the Marius chair for showering because of a knee injury.
Unfortunately, last week his testicle became trapped after falling into a hole in the stool and swelling owing to the hot temperature in the bathroom. He told the MailOnline that after the water turned unbearably cold he reached for a hairdryer to warm himself at the risk being electrocuted. The father-of-three later reasoned that the cold water saved him in a way as it made his testicle shrink and enabled it to pop back through the hole. His hilarious post quickly went viral on social media and even came to the notice of the staff working at the Swedish retailing giant.
“Hey, Claus. We recommend that you take the stool out of the shower... or that you sit on it with the right uniform on and in the right setting. If you choose to keep it in the shower, make sure you are well dressed for your next sea excursion,” a staffer posted.
Jorstad decided to not take any more chances and later posted a picture of the stool in the shower again. But this time it was covered with a wash cloth so that his testicles wouldn’t be in any danger of getting stuck again.
