eater is absurd, and we should all ignore the rumour.  


This guy goes to the hospital to visit his friend, a Yukon trapper.  The
friend is lying there in bed, with huge bandages swathing the entire area
of his groin.

"Hey", says the guy, "I heard you were here.  What happened?"

"Well", his friend answers, "it's like this.  I was doing some prospecting
and trapping a little up near Goose Creek, and before I turned it in for the
night I'd set a bunch of little traps -- you know, muskrats and like that."

"Yeah", says the first guy.  "Go on."

"Well, during the night it snowed a little -- not much, but enough to cover
some of the traps.  Sun rose, I was still sort of sleepy, and I walked a
little way off from camp to take a crap.  Well, I squatted down there,
didn't notice one of my traps in the snow, and first thing you know -- bang! --
nails me, right in the balls!"

"Sweet Jesus!" says the guy.  "I can't even think about it!  Wow!  That 
must have hurt!"

"Hurt?" says the trapper.  "Hurt?  I'll tell you it hurt.  Man, that was the
second worst hurt I've ever felt."

"*SECOND* worst?  Good God!  If that was the *second* worst, what was the
first?"

"Well, that came when I hit the end of the chain ..."
