Men Shot With .357 as They Traced It for Tattoo Pattern
Tuesday, January 01, 2008


CHAPARRAL, N.M. -  Getting a tattoo can be a painful proposition, but
usually it's just the needle you have to worry about.

Two men trying to trace a loaded .357-caliber Magnum as a pattern for a
tattoo accidentally shot themselves, the Otero County Sheriff's Department
said Monday.

[...{8^D Two proles with one round!  {8^D...s]  

Robert Glasser and Joey Acosta, both 22, were treated at a hospital in El
Paso, Texas, after the shooting Thursday evening in nearby Chaparral.

Authorities said Glasser was struck in the hand when the gun accidentally
went off, and Acosta was hit in the left arm. Their injuries were not
life-threatening, authorities said.

Haaaaahahahahahahaaaaa!  {8^D 

Intelligence has apparent limits but stupidity knows no bounds.  

Question please, was Bobby G's left arm so large that Joey A needed to
*trace* an *actual size* three fifty seven, which is a quite large device?
Did it really need to be *loaded* for this application?  Perhaps they were
remembering the Alamo, and wished to be prepared in the event of a sudden
attack.  

The scary part is that people such as this are eligible to vote, oy vey.
