and a testicle while cleaning a gun he had just bought, police said.

Michael Smeriglio, 18, initially lied to police and claimed he had been shot as he walked down the street in Port St. Lucie, Florida on Thursday.

But after he was questioned by police, he admitted he had done it to himself while cleaning a gun at a friend's house on Verada Street

Now is not the time to run off half-cocked!

Full Decocker damn good one!!!!

[Texas Songwriter]

When he leaves the hospital he will be discharged half-cocked. But seriously, a serious injury.

Whoa! Momma never told me THAT!!!

I believe the standard is 'removing one's self from the contributors to the gene pool through a particularly stupid act.'

Turning gonads into flybait would qualify, so long as no gametes would be forthcoming.

The complete demise of the candidate isn't necessary, iirc.

My BIL is buying my neice a gun....

er....

she is a spoiled brat who orders her parents around and throws fits....

she does well in school, with others doing some of her homework, and wants to be a CIA agent.

.. nothing follows

Now his friends will call him Einstein (literally German for one stone/testicle)

[FlingWingFlyer]

LOL! I love it.

That was back in the day you knew they were real...wow what a set of lungs.

[ConservativeChris]

PFFFFFT! He is 18 from Florida, he probably already has GRANDKIDS! Sorry no winner here.

[patriotsblood]

Can’t wait to see the ad for organ donors.

Depending on damage, the remaining testicle might not do him much good.

Unless 0bamaCare rules it a waste of money he can always get some technical assistance.

He will have to find a woman who doesn't mind having sex with sterile equipment in a hospital room though.

You may have a good point. If he cannot contribute to the gene pool any more, he has essentially removed himself from participating in the pool. Do you suppose he was looking at the sights cockeyed when the mishap occurred?

[TigersEye]

Momma did say there would be days like these. She didn’t go into details though. ;^)

Was he cleaning the gun by rubbing it on his pants? You just can’t get adequate training in schools nowadays.

1. Buy a cleaning kit.
2. Learn to read the instructions.
(Maybe the fella can’t read, so maybe step 1 is learn how to read.)

Kind of a cruel way to clean up the “Gene Pool”, but effective in the long run.

(I count myself lucky not to have been justly punished for my long history of jack-assery.)

Once they’re in, they’re real.

Once they’re in, they’re real.

Maybe..but I have felt "gummy bears" supposedly the best on the market..yuck...and they were put in right. Hard and unnatural. I will take small and real anyday.

They look good in clothes...not so much out of clothes.
