A Bad End...To A Bad End

They Sydney Morning Herald reports on a Kiwi's bad end that he was trying to bring to an end, but that ended up rather badly.

OK, OK, let me translate. It appears that a patient at Southern Cross Hospital in Invercargill, New Zealand was having an operation to have hemorrhoids removed, when what should happen but an emission of flatulence. The resulting flash fire resulted in the man's suffering minor burns, while bringing the operation down in flames.

Hospital officials vowed to quickly get to the bottom of things and to fire those responsible.
