PITTSBURGH - The Brentwood man who was the world's first penile transplant patient is seeking a divorce just one month after the historic operation. Bradleys Roadhouse, 41, suffered a circular saw accident last month that left him with a small stump where his penis had been. The new appendage came from a 22-year old brain dead donor who had worked as a pool boy at the South Hills Country Club, a club frequented by Roadhouse's wife.Roadhouse said that he "couldn't be happier" with his robust new organ. But he became concerned when his wife first saw it because a "flash of recognition" shot across her face. Worse, after several instances of lovemaking, he concluded that the transplanted appendage "knew its way around her a little too well." Roadhouse explained: "Let's just say it knew things it shouldn't have known."
Roadhouse investigated and discovered that his wife had frequent contact with the donor at the South Hills Country Club. "I concluded that my wife knew my penis in a previous life," he said.
Roadhouse knew what he had to do: "Either my new penis had to go, or my wife."
It was no contest. Roadhouse filed for a divorce, but his wife, Shelley, is fighting back and has spread the word at the country club that the stump that resulted from her husband's circular saw accident was not appreciably smaller than his original organ.
That, according to club members, was the cruelest cut of them all.
