Calif. woman killed by cannonball fired by husband - Yahoo! News

That's a level of "ticked off" I hope I never reach.

Maybe Toby Keith needs to add these lyrics to a remix of trailerhood. It is always sad when someone loses their life because of a couple of idiots.

So they were "working" on a cannon and had it pointed at the house? Brilliant!!! It was also 12:15 on a Tuesday night. Seems like the perfect time to work on my loaded cannon pointed at my mobile home.

You have to read the comments at the bottom of the article. A sad tragedy but this will make the rounds on Letterman and Leno.

Here's your sign....

Uh, I was working on a live stick of dynamite the other night at 2:30 a.m. I accidentally lit it with my cigarette and panicked. I tossed it into the bedroom where my wife was sleeping and ran out the front door.

Great, now the gun control crowd is going to want to take away my cannon.

Last thing said before the cannon went off...

 

"Here, hold my beer."

"We filled his head with cannonballs and powdered his behind, and when we touched the powder off the gator lost his mind."
