This guy says he can't remember how it happened. I'd sure as hell remember.

A British tourist is recovering in the Dominican Republic after mystery attackers apparently tried to slice off his penis.
Alan Reed, 43, was found lying in a pool of blood by his fiancée, Ellie Rothery, 21, after a night out in the popular resort of Cabarete near Puerto Plata.
Reed, who claims not to remember very much about his ordeal, is expected to fully recover.
"I have a lot of stitches and I'm still in a lot of pain but it could be a lot worse," he said Wednesday. "The doctors have sewn me up and have told me there'll be no long term damage.
The pair, both from London, became separated after Rothery accompanied a pal to a nearby taxi stand during a dinner. When she returned, Reed was gone.
Rothery said she spent nearly two hours combing the town and nearby beach in search of him after he disappeared from their restaurant table. Eventually, she headed back to their hotel and found him lying semi-conscious on their bed.
"He was sprawled out on the bed in just a pair of shorts that were covered in blood when I walked in,” Rothery said. “The sack around his left testicle was completely detached and he had two big gashes in his penis.”
Inspector Contreras, of the Dominican Republic's National Police at Cabarete, said this was an unusual incident.
"We believe this happened at an isolated spot on the beach between the resort and the victim's hotel which is about three miles away.
"The problem is he hasn't been able to tell us anything because he said he can't remember anything.
Inspector Contreras said he believes Reed had been drinking heavily that night.
