A Darwin Award Nominee

Well, this one sure fails the obituary test:

St. Johns County deputies recently launched an investigation into what they called one of the strangest accidents they’ve ever seen when a man was found dead after getting stuck in a cat door.

Good ol’ Florida.

“You’ll Put Your Eye Out”

A failed attempt at the Darwin Award:

A 66-year-old man shot himself in both his legs Saturday afternoon while trying to loosen a stubborn lug nut with a 12-gauge shotgun.

The deputies described the man’s legs as “peppered” from his feet to his mid-abdomen with pellets, pieces of the wheel and other debris. Some injuries went as far up as his chin.

Surprisingly, no alcohol was involved. Wonder how he adjusts his distributor timing–with a Glock?

Anyway, I think he was just using the wrong tool. He should have used a slug instead of double-ought shot.

“He’s bound and determined to get that lug nut off,” Wilson said, who did not know how long the man had been trying to free the lug nut.

Apparently.

I suppose now the lawyers at the shotgun manufacturers are going to insist on warning labels on the stock: “Do not use as lug wrench.”
