Yes, that is indeed a woman’s hand stuck in that Chinese gentleman’s mouth. Two morons for the price of one. (Ha! I originally typed “rice of one”!)

Doctors at a hospital in Jilin, China treated a couple that came awkwardly walking into the emergency room. The woman had her hand stuck in her boyfriend’s mouth. They were trying to shoot a funny video, see, to post online so it would go “viral.” The woman, who has a small fist (but unfortunately not quite small enough) managed to stuff her hand in the guy’s mouth but when she tried to pull it out, his mouth muscles spasmed and his jaw clamped down.

The woman told the puzzled medical staff that her boyfriend’s face turned red as her efforts to yank her hand free proved futile. He was drooling and his throat made a gurgling sound, while his teeth dug into her wrist. “Saliva ran down my wrist to my elbow,” the woman said, but in Chinese. “It felt like my hand was stuck in a meat grinder.”

Doctor Zhang Mingyuan, who finally got the woman’s fist free, explained that the couple had triggered a dangerous cycle in which the increasing pain in the boyfriend’s jaw caused his jaw muscles to contract more. The medical staff tried to prevent the man from choking or vomiting by playing soothing music—you know, like “Feelings,” though I would think that would increase the vomiting risk—then used a mouth opening device to pry open his jaws sufficiently to inject a muscle relaxant. It took 20 minutes, but Doctor Zhang eventually was able to rotate the woman’s wrist enough to carefully slip it free.

Well, they got their viral video!
