Poll October 27, 2004 ~ 4:53 pm

Posted by Julie in : Daily Grind , trackback

Don’t worry, this is a non political poll, not involving Democrats, Republicans, or Swing States.

What happened to spark the poll is this. Today at a Blimpie’s (think generic Subway) around the corner from my college, a girl was sitting, minding her own business, eating her sub, when she got shot in the ass. I know, how horrible, right? Except for this: there was no insane gunman, no hold-up, none of that. The shot was fired when an off-duty policeman’s gun hit the floor and randomly fired. And it hit her in the ass. She’s already been released from the hospital, so it wasn’t a serious wound.

Now my question is: after reading this, how many of you thought “That’s awful! But shot in the ass? By a dropped gun? How Keystone Cops can you get?” or something like that?

Because while I think it’s sad that she was injured, I also find the humor in the situation. Capped in the ass by the floor, yo! The floor shot her! Am I the only one who finds this even partially amusing? If it happened to me, I would think “Shit, this hurts! Wait, what happened? I just got shot in the ass by the floor?” I would see the humor in this, because up until today, I figured I was the only one who had things this bizarre happen to them. Anyone else have this reaction? Or is it just me and Floor Shot?
