Man shot himself in the foot to see what it felt like
Metro [UK] ^ | 29 Apr 2015 | Matt Payton

There is a concrete reason why ‘shooting yourself in the foot’ is an idiom as this man found out.

Police have not revealed the 35-year-old’s name who was admitted to hospital last weekend in the Spanish town of Elda near Alicante.

However, it currently appears that he shot himself in the foot with a handgun to find out what it would feel like.

Authorities have not yet found the firearm which they believe he threw out of his car window on the way to hospital, according to i100.

Investigators have not ruled out sending him for psychological testing or charging him for firearm offences.

Reminds me of the guy who shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.

I have been to Folsom. I could never figure out why he shot a man in Reno (Nevada) and ended up at Folsom (California)

It was 1994.

I’ve never even heard of them.

But if I had...

LOL

Empirical evidence is over-rated.

Because “I shot a man in Merced” just don’t have the same panache.

He’s a foreign national living abroad, so probably both.

Yes, you are probably right. Of course, he could have shot a man in Stockton. That's about an everyday occurrence. Folsom kind of sucks too. It is just like San Quentin, except a whole lot hotter. 🇵🇭😃😀😄😆😂

‘OH!!!! THAT’S How it FEELS! ‘

Had he wanted to see what it felt like to shoot himself in the head (or groin), it would have taken him out of the gene pool. That would have been good.

“probably like it felt when I poured a cold glass of water over a light bulb when I was 12. Nearly lost an eye. Pops knew then I wasn’t all there.”

Ever try playing basketball with ice cubes and a deep fat fryer?
