Woman shot in the head

You Gotta Love This!!

Woman shot in the head: Linda Burnett, 29 , a resident of San Diego , was visiting her in-laws and while there went to a nearby supermarket to pick up some groceries. Later, her husband noticed her sitting in her car in the driveway with the windows rolled up, her eyes closed, and both hands behind the back of her head. He became concerned and walked over to the car.

He noticed that Linda's eyes were open and she looked very strange. He asked her if she was okay, and Linda replied that she had been shot in the back of the head and had been holding her brains in for over an hour.

The husband called the paramedics who broke into the car because the doors were locked and Linda refused to remove her hands from her head. When they finally got in, they found that Linda had a wad of bread dough on the back of her head.

A Pillsbury biscuit canister had exploded from the heat, making a loud noise that sounded like a gunshot, and the wad of dough hit her in the back of her head. When she reached back to find out what it was, she felt the dough and thought it was her brains. She initially passed out but quickly recovered.

Linda is a blonde, a Democrat, and an Obama supporter, but that could all be a coincidence...

However, the defective biscuit canister was analyzed and the expiration date was from 2008, so it was determined to be Bush's fault.

Your story made my day!

However, Snopes.com says it's one of those urban legends:

"Origins: In 1994 comedienne Brett Butler (of Grace Under Fire fame) was using the Biscuit Bullet story in her act, telling it as something that had befallen her sister. Butler is likely not the origin of the tale though; half a year earlier the same story (minus any mention of Brett Butler's sister) was being pointed to as a cautionary tale in a newspaper article decrying urban violence.

...Though there are no verifiable Biscuit Bullet occurrences on record, the story has at various times been presented by the media as a true story. In May 1996 a columnist for the Orlando Sentinel ran it as a true story just dripping with fabulous details in which the daughter of a reliable source had come to the aid of the stricken lady. Within the day a number of readers had contacted him to point out this was a well known urban legend, prompting the columnist to check a little further with his source. Oops..."


Your story is still very funny. :lol: Thanks for sharing.

Actually, I'd have never even thought of it being real, so I'd have never thought to look it up on Snopes. It struck me as a joke the first time I heard it years ago, but, it's still funny. :lol:

NO, I am NOT blonde...that's pure white and has been since 19 years old. That may be worse than blonde.
