Dick fired for working too hard By ANDREW PARKER May 03, 2007 Soure: The Sun SALESMAN Richard Carter fears he’s facing the sack — after struggling with a SEVEN-YEAR erection. Richard, 34, developed the rare condition priapism after taking panic attack medication. It left his manhood almost constantly stiff and he needed EIGHT hospital operations to reduce it. Richard’s bulge also left him in agony as he drove vans selling fire extinguishers for Chubbs. He was forced to take so much time off that bosses have told him they may need to “reassess” whether he can still work for them as an on-the-road salesman. Richard, from Holbrooks, Coventry, claims he’s been threatened with redundancy and offered a pay-off of just ten weeks’ wages — despite ten YEARS’ service. He said: “Some may think it’s good to have an erection for that long, but I was often in terrible pain. I had to wear knee-length coats in summer to hide it, yet people at work thought it was a joke.” The condition has now improved and Richard, who won a 2003 bravery award for using his extinguishers on a blazing car, has a “normal” sex life with fiancée Louise Lavelle. He said: “I was told the op may make me impotent, but I had to risk it to avoid any more pain.” Chubbs last night said they might find Richard an alternative job. A spokesman said: “We sympathise with him. His position is under review.”
lol richard = dick = erection. amusing title. crappy situation to be in... i would have sued the pharmaceutical company millions in damages. i cant even imagine how embarrassing it would be to go out in public with an erection... rank shit
The worst thing is that he has to hide it or he would be inviting stares.. and that jus suks.. I guess thats the reason for all that pain.
poor guy.. man i feel sorry for him... all the money in the world wouldnt make it any better... well.. 1 million wouldnt make it better... nvm yes it would
wow..... that really sucks and yea i would sue the drug company as well them bastards probably didnt list that as a side effect.....
