"It's a Cinderella Story..... - 4
by J.R. Absher
No, it’s not a reprise of Bill Murray’s memorable role as the demented groundskeeper with a manic obsession for destroying golf course gophers. But, as Caddyshack moments go, it’s darned close. The Thurston County (Wash.) Sheriff’s Department reports that a county resident shot off part of his finger Monday while setting a homemade mole-killing trap in his yard. The device consisted of a spring-loaded mechanism that was staked into the ground, along with a trigger apparatus and a loaded shotgun shell. What could possibly go wrong, you might ask? Seattle television station KIRO reports the 39-year-old man—who was not identified by name—apparently tripped the device’s trigger while setting it. He was treated and released by a local hospital for non-life threatening injuries to his finger. Authorities say in addition to the painful partial loss of a finger, the do-it-yourself exterminator will likely face gross misdemeanor charges for setting an illegal trap. Ouch!

Yoda, we can only hope, but at 39 years old, he probably has already deposited faulty genes into a shallow pool. It's too bad it was a part of a finger he lost.
Definatly a finalist for the "Darwin".
