This news article on the BBC website caught my eye (and brought a tear to it too).
"Surgeon cut off testicle 'by mistake' at Bury hospital " read the headline. Ouch.
A hearing for the General Medical Council (GMC) was told that a surgeon cut off a patient's testicle by mistake. Only supposed to remove a cyst, Dr Sulieman Al Hourani cut off the whole right testicle in error.
He is accused of misconduct and also of stealing medication.
It is also alleged that the doctor injected himself with a drug meant for a patient.
The hearing was adjourned until Tuesday.
I can't bring myself to make a joke about this - do your own - but one hopes this is not the start of some government cuts that really would bring tears to the eye.
