Handyman Nailed with His Own Nail Gun

SYDNEY (Reuters) - An Australian handyman admitted he was stupid to
shoot himself in the head with a nail gun in a misguided prank that
left him with a nail lodged in his brain.

Brad Shorten, a father of three from Victoria state, was enjoying a
few beers with friends after working on his house when they began
joking about industrial accidents.

Shorten, 33, picked up a nail gun that he thought was empty, pointed
it at his head and pulled the trigger.

He later said he had turned off the gun's compressor and taken out
its nail cartridge but did not realize there was still enough pressure
in the gun to fire a nail.

"My mates and I were talking about construction site accidents and
taking your eye out with a nail gun, and I foolishly put the gun to my
head and pulled the trigger," Shorten told the Sunday Herald Sun
newspaper.

"I did a very stupid thing," he said.

The bizarre mishap left him with a 1.25-inch nail counter-sunk
through his skull just behind his temple.

Royal Melbourne Hospital neurosurgeons removed the nail in a
delicate four-hour operation even though Shorten, who was expected to
make a full recovery, had offered to take the nail out with a pair of
pliers.

In the U.S. there are organised ambulance chasers with call takers
standing by at their 800 numbers....
