How do you deal with sideways/upside down locks?

I envision a lockpicking Kama Sutra.

Maybe that's what led to that unfortunate incident where the guy had a padlock around his junk....

It was in a news storty posted in General Chatter. What happened was that a guy got a padlock locked around his nuts. He didn't go to the Hospital to have it removed until two days later. Then, a whole thread full of dirty jokes followed, as usual.

Um.. if I recall correctly, it was two weeks, wasn't it?

surely the weight of the thing would have made him go to the hospital.... unless it was one of those "self-improvement" methods I guess

Incorrectly mounted locks eh? I think that would be a good way to foil a picker. I've also thought of locks that have a key hole far back in the knob so you would need an extra long pick or tension wrench to pick. LOL there are so many ways to piss pickers off by doing weird stuff like that.

That sounds painfull... what would you do if someone called you up and asked you if you could unlock a padlock that was around his balls?

i'd ask what kind of padlock it was... the shape of the key.. any model number he could read without extreme pain...

then I'd tell him to stay put and not do anything stupid.

Once I got there I'd see what I was dealing with.. if the job was too big I'd turn it down... I mean somebody else would be better equiped to open Abloys.... so if it was within my skill level I'd lube the lock up first, then start probing it. if matters became more difficult I might bring out the drill...

Don't go off topic? Are you kidding me??? There's hardly a hint of the original topic left of this thread. What exactly was that topic he shouldn't have "gone off"? The story of the padlock on the guy's junk?
