There’s no serious way to say this, so I’m just going to throw it down.

A granny from Brackenfell, Merle Groenewald (below with her husband), has filed a lawsuit against a British strip club after a sexy fireman tossed a poorly aimed pair of trousers in her general direction.

The offending “flying trousers” have caused Groenewald “devastating injuries”, reports News24.

Okay, that part is serious.

Rapport newspaper reported on Sunday that Merle Groenewald, 58, claims she was left with a permanent eye injury and is now suing the popular Dreamboys male stripper troupe for £150 000 (R2,7m).

According to Rapport, she works at a well-known hotel in Cape Town while her husband Johann is a retired police officer.

Groenewald was reportedly on a girls’ night out when the incident occurred. She was sitting so close to the stage that her knees were touching it.

Four sexy “firemen” were performing at the time and when they stripped off their trousers and threw them toward the audience. One pair reportedly struck Groenewald right in the face.

Attorney Mark Mulrooney breaks down the extent of her injuries.

“She suffered a severe blunt injury to her left eye which caused her to require surgery.

“She has lost useful vision in her left eye and suffered a temporary injury to her right eye,” Mulrooney reportedly said.

The SA granny told the court she was suing Dreamboys because it “failed to ensure that there was sufficient space between the performers and the audience, so as to ensure that the performance could be carried out safely”, The Mirror reported.

Dreamboys has argued that an incident involving someone being injured by a stripper’s trousers was not “reasonably foreseeable”.

Merle has said that the incident is in “God’s hands now”.

While we wait to find out the outcome of the case, you can enjoy the Dreamboys without the risk of flying pants, from the safety of your screen:
