Today's Idiots: "The mice escaped the shooting unharmed."
2008-07-09
POTTER VALLEY, Calif. — A Mendocino County woman who was trying to kill mice in her trailer with a gun ended up shooting herself and another person.

The 43-year-old woman pulled out her .44-caliber Magnum revolver after she saw the mice scurrying across the floor of her trailer on Highway 20 in Potter Valley, sheriff's officials said.
"This is the most powerful handgun in the world; take your head clean off. So ask yourself, do you feel lucky? Well, do ya, Mickey?"
"Eeek!"
"Squeek!"
"She's psycho, and she's got a gun!"
"Cats I can deal with, but not this!"
"Scurry! Hurry!"
"Feets don't fail me now!"

But she accidentally dropped the gun,
"Ooopsies!"
which went off as it struck the floor.
BANG!
The bullet went through the woman's kneecap,
"Ow! Oweeee!"
bounced off the keys sitting on the belt loop of a 42-year-old man in the trailer
Zing!
and grazed the man's groin
"Egads! I've gone from baritone to mezzo soprano! My opera career is ruined!"
before ending up in his coin pocket.
Ka-CHING!

Authorities did not release the shooting victims' names.
And now for the punch line:
The mice escaped the shooting unharmed.
