When putting a bottle on your ass causes a mini European War

[1.425]

On May 1, 1985, a Serbian farmer named Đorđe Martinović went to hospital. He was 56, living in a small village outside the Kosovan city of Gjilan, and was in considerable pain. When Martinović was examined, doctors found a broken beer bottle wedged in his rectum.

 
Martinović claimed he had been attacked by two Albanian men, who had forced the bottle into his anus. His name became known throughout the country. Poems were written about him, newspapers filled with outrage at the ferocity of this anti-Serb attack. 

Except that wasn’t Martinović’s original story. When he first showed up, he said he had been masturbating while lowering himself onto a bottle placed on the end of a stake driven into the ground. 

 
So, if he hadn’t told a little white butt-stuff lie, would the world be a different place geopolitically? Huge if true.
