If you’re John Bobbitt it will never be trivial pursuit.
However, Lorena Bobbitt severed her husband John's penis on June 23, 1993 at their home in Manassas, Virginia.
First responders found his penis in a field after Lorena told them where they could find it.

After cutting off John's penis with an 8 inch Ginsu carving knife, "Lorena left the apartment with the severed appendage and drove away in her car. After a length of time driving and struggling to steer with one hand due to holding the penis, she threw the penis out a window into a roadside field on Maplewood Drive. She eventually stopped and called 9-1-1, telling them what she had done and where the penis could be found."
"John's penis was found after an exhaustive search, and after being washed with antiseptic and packed in saline ice, it was reattached in the hospital where he was treated. The operation took nine and a half hours." With somewhat mixed results.
This was a career maker for John Bobbitt, the best thing that ever happened to him. Apparently some porn fans (women or men??) thought John's mangled penis was a huge turn on. He starred in classic flicks like Frankenpenis, John Wayne Bobbitt Uncut, and the sequel John Wayne Bobbitt's Frankenpenis. He also appeared with Howard Stern who fundraised $250,000 for him, purportedly to offset surgical costs. And that was back when $250,000 was a lot of money!
