Why You Shouldn't Try And Change Tyres With A Shotgun, Or Why Isn't There A Law Against Idiots?    Back to the homepage

Seriously, anyone else see this? This guy must have earned himself a Darwin award. If you didn't see it, Google Man hurt using gun to change tyre... or maybe even don't, you might save yourself having to feel embarrassed for the rest of the human race. Basically, a man in America (where else?), having spent a couple of days trying to fix his car, decided the best way to get that last, awkward, lug nut off would be - with a shotgun. Yes, you read right. Let's fix a car, WITH A SHOTGUN. Genius! Funnily enough, it ricocheted and he was admitted to hospital with shot all the way from his stomach to his chin... who'd have thought it? The police said nobody else was involved and he was not intoxicated... so basically, they can't do anything. What about committing him to a mental institution for his own safety?! Some people are just impressively stupid. While Einstein over there is busy waiting for his Darwin award to come through in the post, I'd just like to say that this raises a few issues apart from the obvious one (about using your common sense). How is it people can sue the pin company if they prick their finger, but are still allowed to do this kind of thing in peace? How in heaven's name did this moron ever get a license for a shotgun? If the Health Service won't treat obese people or smokers, why do they treat people who are this stupid? I mean, accidents happen, but this is just stupid. The moral of this story is, if you're trying to fix your car, don't use a shotgun. Use dynamite, because then it just might finish the job.
