Man uses gun for backscratcher, shoots himselfTexan + beer + poker + 3 a.m. + back itch + revolver = Comedy Gold. Frankly I can't believe this never happened to our Commander and Chief
A Fort Worth man trying to scratch an itch on his back used a revolver and accidentally shot himself. Jorge Espinal, 44, was drinking beer and playing poker around 3 a.m. Sunday in his home in the 3500 block of Montague Street, when he got up from the table and walked into another room, said Fort Worth police Lt. Kenneth Dean. “He told officers he had an itch on his back and grabbed the first thing he could get a hold of, which was a revolver,” Lt. Dean said. “The gun went off." Mr. Espinal went back and told his buddies that he shot himself. “They didn’t believe him until they saw the blood coming down his back,” Lt. Dean said. Mr. Espinal was taken to an area hospital, where he was treated and released with non-life-threatening injuries.
Also, I love how his friends didn't believe that he shot himself. What did they think the thunderous gun shot like noise was that they heard shortly after 3 a.m. when Jorge went to go scratch his back? "OH MAN, Jorge you gotta lay off the bean burritos esse!!"
(sorry, that was the best typed Hispanic accent I could do)

I think that I will send this guy that annoying monkey paw back scratcher that you have...
What, you want me to scratch my back with my shotgun then? Is that what you're getting at? Why don't you just poison me the old fashioned way?
