I think we did give him something to bite on. Its a bit hazy. 3 of us all had a go & to this day hes still got scars on other parts of his hand where we were slightly inaccurate at placing our medical instruments.
Bell ends - yes. But young & having fun (& slightly crazy)
Once when v drink my friend cut his hand badly. Rather than take him to a&e / call an ambulance, we took turns to heat a knife up on the gas stove & we held him down while we quarterised it.
Stank of bacon / burnt flesh.
He ended up going to a&e anyway
