You know, the one where the guy sticks his gun in his waistband and it fires? Seem like these guys were going to kidnap these other guys because of a dispute over stereo speakers, when … ah hell. It’s short, and hilarious. Read it yourself. Keep your eye on the ball. [BWAHAHAHAHA!](http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061116/ap_on_fe_st/groin_shot) ---

The best part is that he cringed after the first shot, causing the gun to go off again. [Nelson Muntz/]HA-HA![/Nelson Muntz] ---

[QUOTE=Carl Corey] The best part is that he cringed after the first shot, causing the gun to go off again. [Nelson Muntz/]HA-HA![/Nelson Muntz] [/QUOTE] Although ya gotta admit, only cringing is a pretty ballsy, errr, gutsy reaction. Right there, in about 2/5 of a second, something that seemed like a good idea at the time went south in a hurry, so to speak. ---

It’s pretty impressive that he _walked_ to the hospital. That took some major…um…guts. How do you spot a Navy SEAL? He’s the guy jogging home after his vasectomy. ---

Can he get half a Darwin award for that? He at least deserves an honorable mention… ---

Well, he’s certainly out of the reproductive pool… Man, I have all the necessary girly bits, and _I_ cringed (and crossed my legs) on reading that. Ouch doesn’t even begin to cover it. ---

That’ll teach him to go around half-cocked. ---
