Local man repairs relationship, loses penis

Roanoke, Va.--A Roanoke man savagely mutilated himself Friday while trying to prove to his ex-wife he was "still man enough to sexual role-play and use a skill saw naked." Sources say he was attempting to sacrifice the family housecat to the love gods when things suddenly appeared very wrong.

Tina Shrubman, a 46 year old "homemaker" described the scene to police and reporters a "bloodbath, not in the sexual way, but almost," as the man's dismembered tool flopped around like a suffocating fish on the counter-top in her Martha Stewart-influenced kitchen. Lustily, Shrubman bit her lower lip.

Lieutenant Leroy Jackson, who is not supposed to disclose any details around an ongoing investigation, revealed to reporters, "Cletus Ragburn, waited for Ms. Shrubman's return in her living room, naked, prepared to operate a table saw mounted on two sawhorses. Confused, she instinctively pepper-sprayed him, causing his thumb to react, triggering the power saw to spin out of control and fall to the floor, castrating him in the process."

When asked where the pet would be sent for treatment, Jackson replied, "I am not at liberty to divulge that information."

Joe Diamond, attorney for Ragburn's johnson revealed that the member was seeking severance pay, a full health insurance package and a guaranteed nine-to-five stroke job.
