"It is not known whether surgeons were able to re-attach the men's ears"

"Two drunk Russian men each cut off an ear after taking part in an arm-wrestling match in a remote Siberian town."
The contestants had been celebrating Orthodox Christmas on January 7 when they agreed to the forfeit if they lost the match.

But when they failed to determine a winner, they decided to call it a draw.

In a sportsmanlike gesture both agreed to severe their ears - one completely, the other partially

Their wounds were likened that to painter Vincent Van Gogh who cut off his ear during a bout of depression.
The "best rated" comment...
After the match one turned to the other and asked "would you like another vodka Yuri?" and the other replied "no thanks, I've got one ear".

Did you notice, Lem, that comment got 42↑ and 2↓.

What the hell is wrong with those 2?

OK, I just figured it out. Those votes came from the wives.

Now that's funny!

If only I had that kind of wit, and good looks, and some talent and ambition, I'd have made something of myself, maybe a nice sweater.

I love stories about Russians. Russians do things up big time! Always dramatic and a bit goofy.
