Man Wakes Up With Bullet In Tongue

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- There's a good reason Wendell Coleman woke up with a splitting headache: he had been shot.

Police in Jacksonville report Coleman walked 12 blocks to a hospital the other day after waking up with a very bad headache. His lip was swollen, he appeared to have powder burns and he had trouble speaking.

Doctors found a bullet in Coleman's tongue. He told police a woman stuck a gun barrel in his mouth during an argument late the night before. Coleman said he heard a gun go off, but then went home and went to sleep not realizing he had been shot.

Police said they are looking for a suspect, but besides the bullet, don't have much to go on.

Sometimes you just gotta bite the bullet, then sleep on it.

Wrote a story once that started with these lines:

"I woke up this morning to realize I'd shot myself in the foot. This was doubly confounding, as I don't own a gun."

has anyone told you lately that you're a nutter? not that it's a bad thing, mind you, just thought i'd point it out :P

Ummm...not lately, but thank you.
Yeah, that story also involved a dwarf (i.e. dwarfism, not Gimli), a secret passage, and a covert art project.

I need to find it and rework it, now that I think about it.

Thanks for the nutter comment, really nudged me back into gear.
