As Agence France-Presse reports, officials had to call in a bomb disposal team and evacuate the hospital after the man was admitted over the weekend.
Beyond being found inside people’s rectums, around 1.5 billion shells were fired during World War 1, according to the Military Times.
Amazingly, it’s somehow not the first time a Frenchman has been rushed to the hospital after shoving a shell up his behind.
In late 2022, an 88-year-old stuck a World War 1 artillery shell in his rectum; surgeons at a hospital in Toulon, France, were forced to make an incision in his abdomen to retrieve the ancient relic.
The man told officials at the time that he allegedly “slipped and fell” on the ordnance.
