"Excuse me, sir - your ass is ringing."

Do you remember a couple of months ago when we talked about the poor sap in India who woke up in jail and discovered that a light bulb had been inserted in his ass? Well, that’s nothing compared to this story...

Cell phones found inside four prisoners

SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador - Cellular telephones were found inside four prisoners in El Salvador's maximum-security prison, authorities said Wednesday.

The discovery was made Tuesday at the prison in Zacatecoluca, in central El Salvador, after suspicious officials took X-rays of each of the inmates, federal corrections chief Jaime Villanova said.

Capt. Juan Ramon Arevalo, director of the prison known as Zacatras, said the gang members had introduced the cell phones, wrapped in plastic bags, into their bodies through their anuses. Authorities also found nine cell phone chips and one charger.

"Each one had a cellular with a number of chips," Arevalo said, adding that one also had hidden a charger in his anal cavity.

I guess there’s something to be said for modern technology. You wouldn’t want one of those early 90’s behemoth cell phones jammed in your nether regions...

Still, it makes you wonder what they’ll find shoved up some dude’s backside in the future. Yesterday: light bulbs. Today: telephones. Tomorrow: A Buick?

Yick.
