Man has gun accident in toilet

POLICE in a Vancouver suburb reminded residents it was not a good idea to play with a loaded gun while using the bathroom, after a man accidentally shot himself.

A 21-year-old North Vancouver man was facing numerous weapons charges after he shot off one of his fingers while apparently playing with a gun on New Year's Day, according to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

"Perhaps, our mothers never explained to us that it was not a good idea to play with handguns whilst using the restroom. But then again, maybe that was supposed to be a given," the Mounties said.

And the scene from "A Christmas Story" pops into my head.

"You'll shoot your eye out!"

Only this time it's, "you'll shoot your finger off!"

Maybe he thought that something in the terlit was going to attack him.

Better to shoot then flush, rather than flush then shoot.
