I read an article about insane people in the UK who put ferrets down their pants
competitively.

There was one guy who could do it for hours, while all his competitors could
manage only a few minutes.  He was asked if they ever bit his personal aspects,
and he said they did this often.  They would take a big bite and hang there.

I believe he said something to the effect that they don't just bite to wound,
they bite to amputate.

But he said this in UK pub-speak.

I hope this answers your question.
