I shot the toilet, but I did not shoot the urinal

1. File this under "Some people are not bright."

2. P.S.: I am not making this up. You CAN'T make this stuff up.

3. Did I mention to file this under "Some people are not bright"?

4. Dat's Louisiana for you.

From The (Baton Rouge) Advocate:

East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Deputies arrested a 16-year-old male student Wednesday in connection with the loaded gun found at Woodlawn High School on Tuesday, according to Fred Raiford of the Sheriff’s Office.

The student was charged with illegal use of a firearm in a firearm-free zone and aggravated assault.

The 16-year-old was in the boys’ restroom trying to flush a .22 automatic handgun down the toilet when another student entered and saw him. The gun discharged during the attempted flushing, and the other student reported to the school principal what had happened, Raiford said.

The arrested juvenile was taken to the Juvenile Detention Center, Raiford said.

Ain't it funny how one bad flush can shoot your whole day to . . . ah, never mind.

Just remember this simple safety tip from the Mighty Favog: ALWAYS make sure your handgun is unloaded before trying to flush it down the toilet. Then, flush your ammo separately.
