No bath stopper can be a huge problem! 

A German man almost died after using a sink plunger as a bath plug and impaling himself after slipping on a bar of soap.  Get this man a soap on a rope!  The 79 year old man decided to use the toilet plunger as a drain plug in the tub because he could not find the stopper.

The poor guy stood up to soap himself he slipped and fell heavily on the plunger, wedging the wooden handle up his backside.

His wife, 68, who rushed to the bathroom when she heard him screaming in pain, was unable to pull him free and called emergency services.

An ambulance spokesman said: "There was a lot of blood, the injury was very serious, he could have died."

Doctors operated for eight hours to repair the damage and it will be at least two weeks before he can leave the hospital.
