Greetings fellow Bizarros:

Have you ever heard someone say, "The BALLS on that guy!" It is usually used in reference to an action that is rash, risky, or overly aggressive. It comes from the aggressiveness that is associated with the production of testosterone which comes from, you guessed it, balls.

Consequently, or perhaps coincidentally, men have an intimate and important relationship with their balls. Sometimes too important. As in the case of men who are giving their "boys" the Botox treatment.

Ballsy.

Although it sounds bizarre, doctors predict the treatment, so-called Scrotox, is only going to become more popular in 2017.

New York-based plastic surgeon Dr. John Mesa has performed Scrotox on 15 men in the past year alone, although he calls the procedure "ball ironing".

The effect of Scrotox is much the same as regular Botox: the removal of wrinkles. The effect lasts for about four months.

But as well as smoothing the skin, Dr. Mesa explained that Scrotox allows the testicles to hang down further and appear bigger, which is another attraction for many men.

Because being obsessed with the size of their penis isn't enough.

One Scrotox treatment costs roughly the same as Botox, but given a lot fewer people see your testicles than your face, the procedure seems quite expensive.

There has however only been one study into using Botox on testicles, and that was to treat pain rather than for cosmetic reasons. But it could be that frozen testicles will soon be as common as frozen faces.

Bizarrely,
Lewis

*- Fake Dentist Pulls Teeth Without Anesthetic -*
People who wanted to save money on their medical bills, suffered immense pain after a fake dentist pulled their teeth without anesthetics, according to police in Florida. The Manatee County Sheriff's Office said that they have arrested 53-year-old Robert Rheinlander, after being accused of offering cheap dental care without being licensed. According to the police investigation, Rheinlander offered cheap dental services out of his customers' homes. He claimed to have practiced dentistry in South Carolina before moving to the state. When police investigated Rheinlander, they found that he was not a dentist. One victim told police that Rheinlander had removed about 10 teeth without anesthesia and had dentures done. As a result, she suffered a lot of pain. Rheinlander was arrested after an undercover agent arranged to meet with him to perform dental work.

* Australian Police Hold Standoff in Empty House *
Proving that Australia is one, big Florida, police were left baffled and embarrassed after participating in a seven hour standoff outside of an empty home. Police responded to the home in a city west of Melbourne after receiving "information regarding a person of interest" in an ongoing investigation. Critical Incident Response Team members said they were negotiating with a man who refused to leave the house and eventually decided to enter the residence. "After no response from the property the house was entered and cleared and no occupants were located inside," the spokeswoman said. The surrounding streets were blocked off and a nearby school was placed under lockdown during the standoff.
