Smoking CAN be Deadly
2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance
This needs to be investigated b/c I only heard part of it on the radio this morning. The DJs reported it out of a news service somewhere from FL. I checked your databases for "cigarette butts" and found nothing.
Two guys were goofing around, drunk. One challenged the other to shoot him with cigarette butts to see what it would feel like. The friend loaded the gun with 3 cigarette butts and some form of ammunition (the caliber and type of shotgun was part of the story, but I am at work and missed it)behind the butts to make sure the cigarette butts left the barrel of the gun. He then shot his friend from 7 feet away.
The friend who issued the challenge died of 2 cigarette butts to the head and one to the heart.
I swear this was on the radio as a real story this morning! I am sorry I can't be more complete with the location of the incident (this happened this week, and if it was not in FL, it was in the SE US, the DJs were making typical fun of the gene pool there). Submitted on 08/01/2002
