Lightning Strikes Man’s Scrotum

Quote
A lightning struck a 53-year-old man's scrotum and then exited his body through one of his feet in Madrid, Spain. The good news: he survived. The bad news: his testicles were burned. A lucky man. Or maybe not.

Just walking down the street apparently ...

However I have seen at least one story where a man has been struck in a nearby spot when relieving himself outdoors (conduction from ground via liquid probably).

I wonder which foot it was?
