LYONS, FRANCE (AP) - On a road near Lyons last week a man was killed 
when four tons of testicles fell onto his car. Tragedy struck when 
farmer Rene Vaclause, 80, was out driving with wife Joelle.  "We were 
going up a hill behind a large lory," recalled Mr Vaclause's widow, 
"when its doors suddenly flew open and all these round things tumbled 
out. I thought they were billiard balls."  Far from being part of a 
leisurely after-dinner game for gentlemen, however, the round things 
were in fact frozen bulls' testicles, several tons of which swamped 
the Vaclauses' car.  "We were buried in them," explained Mrs
Vaclause. "I turned round to look at Rene, but all I could see was the 
top of his head, with a single ball perched on top of it."  Emergency 
services took half an hour to free Mr Vaclause, whereupon it was 
discovered he'd died of a heart attack.  "If he'd had the choice, he 
would have preferred to have gone in a more dignified manner," opined 
his devastated widow.
