The Guardian had a Christmas health and safety warning about ‘penile fractures’ and everyone took the mickey – 14 favourites
Christmas can be hazardous to your health.
You can fall off a ladder while hanging decorations, have an allergic reaction to the tree, get food poisoning from poorly cooked turkey, get bitten by an errant reindeer, choke on a stuffing ball or laugh your head off at a cracker joke. Maybe not quite all of them.
However, there’s possibly another seasonal hazard that you hadn’t thought of.
‘Euphoria and Intimacy’ sounds like the new fragrance from Giorgio Armani. The topic proved too tempting to resist for some funny (and appalled) people.

Seriously, who are all these people having euphoric and injurious sex in the run-up to Christmas?? (I'll tell you who they're NOT: women trying to organise the accommodation and catering for their entire extended family)https://t.co/PrBifE9G84

Free advice …
A good reminder to everyone that you need to be especially careful when you come down a chimney.
