My right arm for Pizza!

2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

My sister is an ICU nurse at Toronto's Sunnybrook hospital. She recently treated a patient who, while not a Darwin Award, likely soon will be, and definitely deserves an honourable mention.

The guy orders a pizza, but when the delivery boy arrives, he decides that he doesn't want to pay. Instead, he gets out his shotgun and proceeds to beat the delivery boy with the butt of the gun. See where this is going? Of course, the gun is loaded and the safety is off.

Bang.

Unfortunately, the loser survives, minus an arm (at the shoulder).

Maybe Toss: Other
This would have been in the paper, I'd think. Also bystander injured? (The delivery guy)


Bill said:
Definitely Keep: Honorable Mention
It really should be rejected due to "bystander hurt", but he deserves it so much. Can we get a confirmation on this (newspaper article or link)?


Jack said:
Maybe Toss: Not Amusing
I agree with Gregory. Seems to me that this would have been in the newspaper.

Maybe Toss: Too Common


Gregory said:
Neutral: Honorable Mention
Hmm. sounds like Raymond Poore with the Shar Pei. At least no animals were hurt. Reference other than "Toronto" would be appreciated.
