How could this happen in a place like that?

2 Shot in Tab Spat at Hooters in Tenn.


KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — A customer who was upset over his tab fired several shots into a Hooters restaurant, leaving a manager and another patron in critical condition Saturday, police said.
Police were searching for the man, who left on foot just after midnight, Lt. Kenny Miller said.
Managers asked the man to leave after he refused to pay his bill, according to Miller.


The man went outside and started firing shots from a .40-caliber handgun at the building, Miller said.
A customer leaving the restaurant and a manager inside were in critical condition Saturday at the University of Tennessee Medical Center.


No other details were immediately available.


How does something like that escalate at a Hooters? How can anyone get mad enough to shoot someone at a Hooters? How can anyone get mad at all at a Hooters?

When I'm at a Hooters, I'm all smiles, all the time. I'd probably be more likely to start shooting someone at Disneyland than Hooters.

How to avoid snowblower injuries

Well here I am, just finishing my first round of clearing snow from my driveway this year and I once again escaped without losing a hand or some fingers.

How did I do it?

Its pretty simple really. I'm surprised nobody has ever thought of it before.

You know how they say never stick your hand into a snowblower, ever?

Well....basically, I don't stick my hand in a snowblower...Ever!

It sounds as easy as it can be, but every year people do it for some reason and WHAM!..out comes a bloody stump and suddenly they can't turn a doorknob any more.

That's what broomsticks or other peoples hands are for!

These are probably the same people who stick fingers in boiling water to test it before dropping a lobster in.
