Man with the longest tongue in the world undergoes surgery

A man with tongue as long as 13.5 cm long and 12 cm wide was relieved of this nuisance record after a rare surgery. Now, man! just think 12 cm wide...What a pain it is to hold such a huge stuff all the while inside your mouth..

I wonder why he did not undergo this earlier, or why was this not highlighted all the while. Even if he did not have the money to undergo the surgery, there are enough samaritans to help him take the shit out of his mouth...
