Yeetle Box: Gun-Weilding Insurance Worker

A 47-year-old insurance company worker accidentally fired his gun in his office cubicle, shooting himself in both legs.

The man had put his .45-caliber gun into his jacket pocket and then draped the jacket over the back of his chair Tuesday morning, said Brett McGuire, Lake Worth police chief. The gun discharged as the man settled into his chair.
The bullet passed through both of the man's legs and a bookcase before lodging in the wall of a cubicle.

There was no indication the man had brought the gun to target anyone, but rather he "just felt the need to carry it," McGuire said. "He wasn't having problems with his bosses or co-workers that we know of," McGuire said. "OK, so there was this one time when he got a bad performance review, but that was weeks before."

Police have no record of the man being licensed to carry a concealed weapon, though, in Texas, this is not a crime. He did, however, violate his company's policy against bringing guns to work without company officials' permission. Said a company spokesman, "We have a very strong policy to deter our employees from carrying concealed weapons into the workplace without prior permission. Clearly, the man in question did not have our permission as evidenced by the fact that we have no record of his submitting a Request to Carry a Concealed Weapon to Work Form.

Most important, the worker will not be compensated for any medical expenses, as the company has deemed it proper that the accident was not life-threatening and did not occur during normal work hours, as the man had come to work early that day.

Yeetle Box: George W. Bush Is a Lizard

Has it been that long since my last post? Gee whillikers. Lots happening lately. I've been so busy I didn't know how busy I was. So, here's what's been happening: I have been interviewing for jobs here on Cape Cod - land of lobster. Things look good. I've written a lot of new poetry. Yes! Oh, and lest I forget, George W. Bush is spreading a virus that causes politicians and pundits to morph into lizards.

Let's consider this. George W. Bush is a human-alien hybrid who occasionally morphs into his true form as a reptilian type creature from another galaxy and planet. He has spread a virus to other politicians via radio and televison waves. Other lizards include Hillary Clinton, Dick Cheney, Nancy Pelosi, and Condaleeza Rice. Oddly enough, Dennis Kucinich is not a lizard, though he bears physical resemblance to a lizard.

In addition, Boxcar Willie is a lizard. That's weird, so it will require further investigation.

Essentially, these hybrids are harmless except that their amazing stupidity causes a great deal of confusion among otherwise rational human beings. This irrationality, in turn, has caused people to behave very rudely to others and to bring to bear their religious beliefs into every topic of conversation. The net result is a mass disagreement about reality and long proven facts about our existence and the world we inhabit.

So, to answer the question regarding intelligent life from another planet: the answer is NO. Rather, we have been infiltrated by stupidity from another planet.

Now that you know, please understand that the only remedy to this egregious stupidity is pure, rational thought.

God speed.

Yeetle Box - The Right To Keep and Bear Arms...In Your Head

Texan prosecutors want the bullet, embedded under the skin in 17-year-old Joshua Bush's forehead, to be removed in order to help convict Mr. Bush of the attempted murder of a used-car salesman in a row following a robbery.

The case has raised privacy concerns, with Mr. Bush's lawyers fighting to have the bullet remain in his head.

Prosecutors say the 9mm bullet became lodged in the soft fatty tissue in Mr. Bush's forehead in a shootout with the car salesman. Police say Alan Olive returned fire after Mr. Bush tried to shoot him. They say Mr. Bush was part of a gang that had tried to take cars from the forecourt. Identified to police by other gang members, Mr. Bush was interviewed.

Mr. Olive, a competitive pistol shooter, said a man returned after the police had investigated, threatening to kill him if he gave evidence. The shootout followed.

"I just can't believe I missed him at that distance," Mr. Olive says in court papers.

Prosecutor Ramon Rodriguez told Associated Press news agency that Mr. Bush "looked like hell. He had a big old knot on his forehead".

Mr. Rodriguez said Mr. Bush later said he was hit by a stray bullet while on his couch in his flat.

A judge issued a warrant for the bullet's removal in October but a doctor said he did not have the proper tools.

A second operation was ordered for last week at a hospital but that was postponed for unspecified reasons.

Now Mr. Bush's lawyers say the removal would be a denial of his civil rights, although the surgery would not be life threatening.

The lawyers base their case on the constitution's protection against unreasonable searches.

Rife Kimler, Mr. Bush's lawyer, told the AP: "When the medical profession divorces itself from its own responsibility and makes itself an arm of the state, it's a dangerous path."

I can't make up this stuff. Anyone know the outcome of this case?
