Multifaceted Pain

Police in Perth, Scotland, responding to a reported break-in found a man in the road with a broken hip. An x-ray of the man’s hip was wide enough to show some of his stomach contents: “thousands of pounds worth of loot.” Detectives theorize the unidentified suspect heard the police coming, swallowed the jewels he was stealing to hide the evidence, and then slipped as he escaped out a second-storey window. “Staff at Perth Royal Infirmary were having a good laugh about the x-ray because it’s pretty obvious what happened to the jewelry,” a police spokesman said. (Reuters) ...I thought x-ray techs were supposed to cover the family jewels with lead aprons.
