I'm going to take a few days off from writing to have a relaxing Christmas, but before I go, here's a reminder to take that handgun everywhere you go, because, well, you never know...
From Wisconsin, this news...the Food and Drug Administration reports on an incident in that state in which a woman brought her handgun into a room with an MRI machine in it. As any schoolkid knows, the "M" in "MRI" stands for "magnet," and this giant electromagnet did its thing on that gun, causing it to shoot a bullet.
The woman is 57 and may indeed live to be 58, but not if that will take` brains. Speaking of her brains, the bullet lodged itself in her buttocks.
The injury to her derrière was described as "small and superficial" and here's the good news: this stranger to the Phi Beta Kappa selection committee was described as healing well afterwards.
She had been through the screening process for an MRI exam and had been asked if she had any objects containing iron with her. I guess she thought they were asking her if she had brought her steam iron with her, and she did not wish to be pressed for details.
It's a sad day when we feel the need to bring heat to a medical procedure, but still, she does not deserve to be the butt of our jokes.
