The classic internet rectal foreign body... or is it? [Gynecologic] [XR] [US] [MR]

On the left side, 2 x-rays of 2 different patients with 2 different objects in their pelvis. Internet denizens would no doubt instantly diagnose these as accidental rectal foreign bodies from people falling on their butts.
