Whine to Your Mother About It

Dean Cochrun, 28, is an inmate at the South Dakota State Penitentiary, serving time for kidnaping. With the time on his hands, he has sued the hospital where he was born charging “child abuse” and “medical malpractice” — for circumcising him as an infant. “I will never know how it feels to have ... a normal sex life that is pleasurable for myself and my partners,” he wrote in his suit. Cochrun alleges an unknown doctor performed the procedure after supposedly convincing his mother it was medically necessary. He resorted to the lawsuit only after writing to the hospital to demand they perform “reattachment surgery” to restore his ...uh... equipment to original specifications, and they refused. The suit demands $1,000 in damages for his “pain and suffering.” (RC/Sioux Falls Argus Leader) ...Sorry, but they only save parts for “reattachment surgery” for 25 years, and you’re just a smidge too late.
