I wondered about that. I remember years ago Johnny Carson had a woman on who, in an attempted suicide, had shot herself in the head TWICE! She said both times the bullet grazed her skull and veered off and that her husband, awakened by the gun shots stopped her from taking the third shot. (she was either pretty darned hardheaded or just a really, really bad shot)

The way this version was worded reminded me of a TV news reporter who (while trying to gain access to my yard so he could film the "happenings" next door) advised me that he and the police were there because "there is a body cemented into the foundation of the house next door" to mine.

"Really?" says I.

"Oh yeah!" says he "The police aren't sure yet if it is a murder or a suicide!" he added knowingly.
