We've seen athletes do a lot of really stupid crap in the last year or so. From Monta Ellis's moped to Brandon Marshall's McDonald's bag to, of course, Plaxico's safety-less gun, these guys have damaged their multi-million dollar bodies in ways that are more frickin ridiculous than I could possibly dream up. But, man, at least those guys did this dumb ish on accident.
Royals outfielder Jos? Guillen, on the other hand, is a frickin masochist. Not only does he play for KC (which is painful enough as it is) but according to the Kansas City Star, Guillen decided to remove his own ingrown toenail with a pair of tweezers when his doctor mentioned the possiblity of surgery. "If it wasn't any better, he wanted me to have surgery. I thought, 'Whoaaa.'
"I reached in there (with the tweezers)," he said, "and poked around until I got the end of it. Then I counted one, two, three and just pulled ?. Oh, my God. It came out, but tears were running down my cheeks."Uh, WHAT!?!? Why in the hell would you do that? What about the surgery would have been any worse than pulling this thing out yourself, dude? Some local anesthetic, perhaps? Sterile tools? The years of medical experience behind the person performing the procedure?
I mean, maybe Jos? thought that "surgery" meant removing his entire foot, but buddy, you're not in the Dominican anymore. We don't do that sort of thing here.
Let's just hope this guy never gets an eye infection.
