HEY EVERYBODY, LOOK AT THIS!Several people in Rock Island, Ill., were passing around something for everyone to admire: a 12 gauge shotgun. As various people posed with the gun for photos, the shotgun ñ obviously loaded ñ discharged, shooting Zachary Inman, 18, in the leg. A police cruiser happened to drive by shortly after and someone flagged it down, and they called for an ambulance. The gun’s apparent owner, Matthew Nazari, 18, was charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm, and other charges may be pending. (RC/Quad-City Times) … “I was posing with it and it went off” is even dumber than the cleaning excuse.IT TAKES 10-12 HOURS FOR HIM TO GET CLEARPatrol officers in Ocala, Fla., were told to watch for a drunk driver ñ the man had just driven away from the Charlie Horse Restaurant and Lounge. Officers quickly spotted the weaving vehicle and pulled it over. Driver Bradley Garrison, 40, police say, had a strong odor of alcohol about him but insisted he had only had two drinks; he was arrested for driving under the influence. An officer stopped by the Charlie Horse and discovered that Garrison had left without paying his bar tab ñ for 20 shots of Jack Daniels, two shots of Jagermeister and one of Makers Mark, totaling $139.09. Garrison was not able to complete a breath test for alcohol because he could not stop vomiting. “It was not clear,” the newspaper report concluded, “if Garrison had consumed all of the drinks.” (RC/Ocala Star-Banner) … Well, it’s not clear to the newspaper reporter anyway.HE’S GOT THE HUMOR THING NAILEDDante Autullo, 32, was building a shed for his Orland Park, Ill., backyard, using a nail gun. He managed to shoot the buddy helping him in the hand with it, but his friend only got a scratch. It was, perhaps, a warning: A few days later, Autullo shot a nail and the gun recoiled and whacked him in the head. “I felt like I got punched in the side of the ear,” he said, but he couldn’t find where the nail went. He shrugged and continued on, not realizing he had shot a 3-1/2 inch nail into his head. Did he think that maybe the nail was lodged in his brain? “It crossed my mind,” he admitted, “but not in the way I wanted it to.” It wasn’t until 36 hours later when he started feeling sick that he went to the hospital to find out what was wrong. A CAT scan found the nail, which was removed during a two-hour surgery. He says he was in too much of a rush, which caused the accident. “Besides the nail,” he quipped, “I’ve had a lot on my mind.” (RC/Tinley Park Southtown Star) … You just canít make this stuff up.Source: http://thisistrue.com
