Auto Repair Injury A Nut Case
A man trying to loosen a stubborn wheel nut blasted the wheel with a 12-gauge shotgun, injuring himself badly in both legs, according to sheriff's deputies in Kitsap County, Washington state. The 66-year-old man had spent two weeks repairing a Lincoln Continental for two weeks at his home. From about arm's length, the man fired the shotgun at the wheel nut and was ``peppered'' in both legs with buckshot and other debris, with some injuries as high on his body as his chin.
FOOTNOTE: Hot shot.
Thats just...well, stupid.
ReplyDeleteMaybe he wrote ``Gunner do this properly'' in his diary instead of ``Gonna do this properly.''
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the move, Dan - but make sure you get ``her'' number first - the person down the hall.
Keep us posted ....

I've never seen a shotgun in a tool box. Guess, he learned a lesson the hard way. Wonder what he'll try next time he needs to loosen a nut.
ReplyDeleteWho wouldn't have shot at that ricalcitrant wheel nut? Besides, who's to blame for letting that poor guy having the car for only "two weeks at his home"?
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to say, I live in Kitsap County, WA. Not ALL of us are that stupid though. I prefer to believe this guy was a transplant...maybe from another planet?
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to believe how stupid some people are...the world over! amazing!
ReplyDeleterage trumps common sense.
ReplyDeletealways wise to note that when playing cars.
I agree with Dan mega...
ReplyDeleteThank you for your stopping in my blog ;O)
Reflectory shot for the refractory wheel.
ReplyDeleteDiary remark: Goner did it properly!
we have some people living way way out in the country here who like to remove warts with firearms if you get my drift...
ReplyDeleteI wonder whether he laughed or cried as they lugged him off to the hospital. What a nut!
ReplyDeleteThink about how stupid the average person is. Half of 'em are even more stupid than that.
ReplyDelete(Thanks to George Carlin for that one...)
Shot a Lincoln, eh? Was his last name Oswald?
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's kinda---dense, alright.
ReplyDeleteMaybe if he had used a SLUG, though...!
It's people like this that keep me busy at work :)
