A senior executive of Eurostar was yesterday rushed to hospital with his wife following a freak accident at home.
Roger McHunt, the Chief Financial Officer of Eurostar had been making love to his wife Valerie in the early hours when he experienced what doctors describe as 'anaphylactic cock' - a condition in which a sudden swelling of the penis occurs causing the organ to increase in girth by up to three times.
"A man in his fifties was admitted last night with his wife, in her seventies with injuries related to anaphylactic cock. They both underwent surgery to be safely separated, and both are doing well", explained Dr Ivor Hardon in a press statement at London's St Bernard's Hospital, Brixton.
It is believed that the condition was caused by an allergic reaction to 'MegaHard' lotion, a cream used to prolong the pleasures of lovemaking.
