Man uses gun for backscratcher, shoots himself...
http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/latestnews/stories/051408dnmetitch.f81a31c3.html

Jorge Espinal, 44, was drinking beer and playing poker around 3 a.m. Sunday in his home in the 3500 block of Montague Street, when he got up from the table and walked into another room, said Fort Worth police Lt. Kenneth Dean.

“He told officers he had an itch on his back and grabbed the first thing he could get a hold of, which was a revolver,” Lt. Dean said. “The gun went off."

6. His poker buddies didn't believe him
Until they saw the blood running down his back.

I actually encourage this behavior.

Makes less competition for scarce food and energy resources.

8. When I first read it the Darwin award came to mind. That is one of the
main reason I can't make up my mind on banning hand guns, they sure take a lot of nuts of of the gene pool.

9. Good thing he was armed and able to stop himself by shooting himself
Just think if he hadn't had a gun,just think of the carnage there might have been.
