A man in Alaska was attacked by a bear. During the encounter the guy shot himself in the leg and eventually killed the bear.
The reminds me of a story I heard, years ago. I can’t vouch for the truth of it, but here goes. Two sailors, Tony and Joe, get a three-day pass in Olongapo City. Being sailors, they found themselves broke after the first night. They were unwilling to go back to the ship. They were standing on a street corner trying to plan the next move when they spied a poster. The poster offered a cash pot to anybody that could beat the local wrestling champion, Filthy McGurk. They decided that this represented a solution to their problems. They went to the wresting venue and flipped a coin to see who would take on the champion. Joe won the coin toss and swaggered into the arena.
Tony acted as Joe’s corner man. Then Filthy McGurk entered the ring. He was six inches taller than Joe and outweighed him by at least fifty pounds. His reach exceeded Joe’s by four inches. The size difference between the two fighters seemed to be an accurate indicator as to how the fight was likely to go. McGurk latched onto Joe and began flinging him about the ring. Tony figured the fight was over when McGurk fell on Joe and started to seemingly tie him knots. Tony couldn’t watch anymore and left the arena. About the time Tony hit the sidewalk he heard the announcer state that the fight was over.
I short time later Joe came out and joined Tony. Joe had a wad of cash in hand that he was busily counting. “What happened?” asked Tony.
“I won,” said Joe. “It was touch and go there. About the time I was gonna give up, a big old pair of hairy balls slapped me in the face. In desperation, I bit them, latched on and worried em like a bulldog. It’s amazing the adrenaline rush you get from biting your own balls!”
Watch the video. In it he says that he thinks that the bear bit him. He has no doubts as to whether or not he shot himself. Just like my story. There was wrestling, self-inflicted injury and the ultimate triumph of the little guy.
