Man shot himself in the foot to see what it felt like
Metro [UK] ^ | 29 Apr 2015 | Matt Payton

There is a concrete reason why ‘shooting yourself in the foot’ is an idiom as this man found out.

Police have not revealed the 35-year-old’s name who was admitted to hospital last weekend in the Spanish town of Elda near Alicante.

However, it currently appears that he shot himself in the foot with a handgun to find out what it would feel like.

Authorities have not yet found the firearm which they believe he threw out of his car window on the way to hospital, according to i100.

Investigators have not ruled out sending him for psychological testing or charging him for firearm offences.

If you are going to do something like this, at least videotape it and charge people to watch it. Those kids who made Jackass made a lot of money.

Some people just have to whizz on the electric fence for themselves.

I have heard about country boys and tractor spark plugs, but never met one that owned up to knowing about it...............

That's nothing, the US elected Ebola -- twice! And the second time, they already knew what it felt like.

Reminds me of the guy who shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.

probably like it felt when I poured a cold glass of water over a light bulb when I was 12. Nearly lost an eye. Pops knew then I wasn’t all there.

I have to ask... Why bother punishing him for it? Seems like an appropriate penalty has already been delivered.

I’m still not sure how he ended up in a California state prison for killing a man in Nevada.

Is this article a metaphor for the ACA?

Which taxpayer-funded check will he get?

The SS disability check?
Or the SS Crazy check?
