LEHIGH ACRES, FL - A 23-year-old man was taken to the hospital with multiple burn wounds after he accidentally shot himself in the genitals with a flare gun, according to the Lee County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies responded to a home in Lehigh Acres Sunday in reference to a medical assistance call.
Upon arrival, 23-year-old Jorge Perez was found with multiple burn wounds and lacerations to his genital area.
Perez told deputies he was playing with a flare gun that was unloaded.
After dry firing the gun a few times, Perez says he then loaded the gun and put it down.
When he picked it up, Perez forgot the gun was loaded and fired it at the ground.
Perez told deputies the flare round struck the floor and ricocheted into his genital area.
Perez was taken to the hospital for his injuries.
So all you girls here .. is he a hottie, or what ?
“...playing with a flare gun that was unloaded...”
They all are.
Is it just me or is that a cop!?
OMG! He’s a cop!
On top of stupidity I’m sure alcohol was involved.

I’m sorry I wasn’t invited to this weenie roast. Sounds like it got exciting.

“Doc, it hurts when I pee.”
“Can you show me where it hurts?”
The fashion police have arrested Jorge - flares are out.
He wanted hot rocks but couldn’t figure a good way to get just his rocks in the microwave.
I give him points for innovation.
Beat me to it. I wonder how many will get the reference, since the only discernible lyrics are the ones you mentioned.
Weenie roast?
A real uhhh, flash in the pants?
“The cure, sir, for what ayles ya, is in this little device. You pull the pin which starts a 15 second fuse. Now this part is very imporant. You must count to 15 on your fingers right after you pull the pin. But under no circumstances are you allowed to set this flare gun down.
After 1 minute your tooth ached will be completely forgotten.”
There goes my e-vre-ee-he-ee-y thing!"

From a Coast Guard web page:
“HAND RED FLARE - 500 CANDELAAPPROVAL CATEGORY: 160.021
“The flare burns with an intensity of at least 500 candela (formerly “candlepower”) for at least 2 minutes. Brighter flares with shorter burning times can also be approved if they total at least 1000 candela-minutes and burn for at least 50 seconds.”
...I’m surprised we all didn’t hear this guy’s screams through our windows.
