Jacksonville, Florida - Police say a Jacksonville man woke-up Monday with a serious headache and a bullet lodged in his tongue.

Police say 47-year-old Wendell Coleman walked 12 blocks to a hospital after waking up with a very bad headache. His lip was swollen, he appeared to have powder burns and he had trouble speaking.

Doctors found a bullet in Coleman's tongue.

Coleman told police that a woman stuck a gun barrel in his mouth during a dispute around 2:30 Monday morning. He told police that he heard the gun go off.

Police say Coleman then went home to sleep.

What authorities did with the bullet wasn't clear.

Darn! that's the third time this month I've woken up with a bullet in my tongue!

Seriously though...
What do you suppose this guy was anestetized with?

Must have bounced back from the upper palate. Bad bullet.

It's too bad he didn't pick the bullet out of his mouth and hand it to the woman. The look on her face would have been priceless.

I am pretty sure the attempted murder charge will have the same effect. I can see no reason one should not be filed.
