Jim Warman Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Well, Saturday evening I got to cross an important milestone off my bucket list... the list of things for me to accomplish before I kick the bucket... Y'know, I don't even recall adding this particular event/experience/happening to the list.... but, none-the-less, I can safely strike "get shot" from it.... Oh, yes... there I was at a friends house, minding my own business and taking a leak in his downstairs pisser... long story made short - he picked this particular time to move his pellet rifle away from the back door (he's having stray critter troubles). Naturally the weapon discharged and a .177 pellet went through the bathroom door and lodged deep in the back of my right knee. I have an appointment with the orthopaedic surgeon in Edmonton tomorrow. I can wiggle the toes of my foot, but I cannot feel my foot. Both of us have been around fire arms pretty much all of our lives and still - all it takes is one little lapse... remember... there is no such thing as an "empty" gun... And oh - have they been having fun with this at work.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I guess any gun is dangerous... let's be thankful your buddy wasn't having bear problems! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmorris Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 What's a little harmless gun play between friends? Seriously though, Hope it all turns out well for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DwayneGorniak Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Luckily it didn't hit you in the ole winker. Damn that's funny shit that there is, I don't care who you are. And at first I thought you you were gonna tell us something dirty such as getting it on in your work place with the Mrs on the bosses desk or something like that. But that is funny as hell.

lmorris Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Dwayne...Are you the one who shot him....? I use "my kids are sick" for getting a day off. Thats a little extreme Jim. "he picked this particular time to move his pellet rifle away from the back door (he's having stray critter troubles). " That's a good one, I will have to remember it for my next shooting.

Jim Warman Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 Well, this particular friend does a lot of catering.... I can't remember if I told everyone about one of his big gigs where three of us grilled nearly 1000 rib eye steaks for a raffle/party/dinner/dance... not to mention the corn, taters, dinner rolls and dessert. (A small due might be 300 people). Anyway... he uses his Grammas recipe to make some "killer" Borscht. He'd made some on Saturday and I was over to gather up a couple of jars. I always told people he makes Borscht to die for and he took me literally. Not to worry, though... at least my leg was there to keep the pellet from damaging the toilet.... I just got back from Edmonton and I'm told that the pellet will be taken out before next week ends and I wont have to worry about any lengthy convalescence... I did get to see some really cute nurses (just about made the trip worthwhile) and we all shared a chuckle over my adventure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastendpowerstroke Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 From the sound of that story the "Critter" was apparently a grumpy old redish gray haired guy that keeps comming over drinking his beer,eatting his borscht,and pissing downstairs....
