Drunk man hammers nail into head

A henpecked husband took drastic action when his wife argued with him over his drinking.

Lin Ma's disapproving spouse Su, 60, irritated him when he returned from a drinking binge — so he took an eight inch nail and knocked it in to his own skull.



The 66-year-old, of Yuyi, southern China, was rushed to hospital with the head wound.

Doctors at the Shantou Medical College were able to remove the nail which astonishingly had missed his brain by fractions of an inch.
