Man shoots off more than desired

2011 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Although it is not eligible for a true Darwin Award, as our "hero" continues to walk among us, I believe I would award Honorable Mention to a man who removed a wart from his finger with a shotgun. He also removed his finger.
