Darwin Award Finalist: Man Blows Off Balls With Shotgun
It's only June, but I think the competition is pretty much over...
A MAN downed 15 pints of beer then accidentally blew off his testicles with a shotgun.
David Walker, 28, was so drunk he had no idea what happened after he picked up the loaded gun in his home.
Sheffield Crown Court heard that Walker, from Dinnington, Yorkshire, had an argument with a friend in a pub.
Afterwards he went home and found his gun, pushed it into his pocket and went out.
But the gun went off blasting pellets into Walker's groin. He needed emergency surgery and had to have both his testicles removed.
Defence barrister Gulzar Syed said Walker had no explanation for the incident and added: 'His mind was a blank.'
Unfortunately, his scrotum is a blank as well...
