This kind of reminds me of that Simpson's episode where Homer joins the NRA. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7091904.stm A US man has injured himself in both legs after attempting to loosen a stiff wheel-nut by blasting it with his gun. The 66-year-old man from Washington state was repairing his car outside his home when the accident took place. Shooting at the wheel from arm's length with his 12-gauge shotgun, he was peppered with buckshot and debris. The man - who police say was on his own and not intoxicated - was taken to hospital with severe, but not life-threatening, injuries. The man, from South Kitsap, 10 miles (16km) southwest of Seattle, had been repairing his Lincoln Continental for two weeks, according to the police, and had removed all but one of the nuts on the right rear wheel. Frustrated by the one remaining nut which refused to budge, he resorted to fire power in an effort to shift it. "He's bound and determined to get that lug nut off," said Deputy Scott Wilson, a spokesman from the sheriff's office. He sustained injuries from his feet to the middle of his abdomen, with some pellets reaching as high as his chin, police said.
Heard about this this morning. Had a really big laugh. It was even funnier because the radio show host said "Thank God this didn't happen in Texas."
I think the best part about the whole story is that the guy wasn't drunk. How do you come up with that kind of solution without alcohol being a part of the decision making process.
You'd be amazed at the characters that live just outside Seattle! (this doesn't apply to Miltonian, who is a 348 genius)
hahahaha. i remember that one... turns off the lights by shooting them, and even shoots off the pop top off his beer to open it lol
Damn. That's the method I was going to use working on my mom's Lincoln Continental. Maybe it works on other cars.
Amazing. I remember hearing a story a while ago of a guy that wanted to make his car louder so he tried to shoot the exhaust pipe, it clearly didn't work as he planned.
I was having a little problem with the climate control system in my 348... but here in Warshington we know how to fix these things. Image Unavailable, Please Login
I was watching an old Law & Order the other night - and the young good-looking female desk cop walks up to Dt.s Lenny & Green, and says - (I kid you not) - "Ballistics came back, and you were right...It was a 25 MILLIMETER" WTF? Better call the tactical squad on that one - I don't think it will fit into miladies purse!
