If that man doesn’t deserve a Darwin Award, I don’t know who does.

Buy a drill with drill bit. Drill hole. Even I could figure that out. Always use the right tool for the job.

Unfortunately, he doesn’t qualify. You have to take yourself out of the gene pool. Now, whether or not he should be promoted to full recipient status, that’s another story...

Guns don’t kill people, satellite TV does.

The woman, who was outside the house, was hit by the second of two shots fired by Ronald Long, the Henry County Sheriff’s Department said.

Hmmm... he missed the first time?

Ok, assuming that she knew what he was doing, she was astoundingly of less understanding of physics than even her husband. A tragic story for those close to the situation. May God grant comfort to her loved ones at this time.

Would be interesting to determine (if possible) the size of the hole after firing the first shot.
