There's a reason why certain items are constructed specifically for certain tasks. For example, a trash can makes a bad toothbrush. Shoelaces will not iron your clothes. Whoopie cushions, though humorous, are of no use to someone in need of a pencil. And most importantly, as Jorge Espinal discovered, a revolver makes a really lousy back scratcher.
Espinal, 44, was drinking beer and playing poker with his buddies in Fort Worth when he got an itch he couldn't scratch, The Dallas Morning News reports. But instead of rubbing against a chair or asking one of his friends for help, he walked into another room and used a revolver to relieve the itch. That's when ... Bang! "He told officers he had an itch on his back and grabbed the first thing he could get a hold of, which was a revolver," Lt. Kenneth Dean with the Fort Worth Police Department said. "The gun went off." In fact, when he walked back to tell his friends what he did, they didn't believe him until they saw the blood running down his back. He was taken to a local hospital, treated for non life-threatening injuries and released. 4 CommentsLeave a comment |
