During my Xray years, I once had a dig-digger stop by at ER, who had struck gold, but then it caved-in and a hand got stuck.
There are funny stories around on the net about strange things that people insert into themselves (or others) and then can't get 'em to come back out and wind up in the ER seeking help......



That iz some very serious work!!!! 😀😀😀
I wonder what driver they wound up using???

come back
Some folks in mental institutions put all kind of metal things in their body, and are very creative at arranging the merchandise.
Everything from pushing needles and/or nails completely through their skin, to cutlery items as e.g. a fork by other means.
Often goes unnoticed, sometimes for a long time. By the time the collector starts to act up, and taken to hospital for Xrays, a spoon may have gone adrift in the abdominal cavity. A set of all-body images of such people, can be astounding time and again.
(Champagne/wine/beer bottles, to even more bizarre items. A gay doctor/specialist friend travels the land with a suitcase in the train, at least the content is pure silicone grade. Stupid bloke got off once, and forgot the toy case.

I intimidated by the champagne bottle. It has me beat on entertainment/enjoyment factor on multiple levels.
U aren't thinking of putting that amp into a body cavity are you??? 😱😱😱
I mean - I have heard of crappy amps before - but that would take things to a hole new level!!! 😀😀😀
I'm guessing that some sort of discounted "closeout special" from parts house wouldn't quite suffice then... I'm short of having any of the big $$$$ lowther's hanging around in the spare parts bin...🙄
I guess that you could try to cheat things a bit with a decent full range driver - but now I think that I'm stepping upon a slippery slope with that thought.
Besides - I'm a sucker for air motion transformers and I don't see that working for this....
