Someone Call Sara Brady! - Two Minnesota farm kids have a close call with a potato gun, according to the Strib:
Polk County Sheriff Mark LeTexier said the two friends were shooting a screwdriver from a homemade potato gun Friday night. The gun failed to fire after several attempts, then went off when one boy picked it up, the sheriff said.The accident took place near the town of Erskine. Would it be catty of me to say that Erskine is Roger Moe's home town?The screwdriver just missed the other boy's heart, LeTexier said. He is expected to recover.
Gaaah. People from my hometown ask me why I got the flark out of North Dakota...
