YET ANOTHER BENEFIT OF ALCOHOL

BERLIN - A Polish man living in Germany went about his business for about five years without noticing he had been shot in the head because he was drunk when it happened.

. . . he wasn't really one for going to the doctor," the spokesman said.

There's a problem with that? If you go to the doctor for every ache and pain and pretty soon they find something wrong with you.

IIRC, something similar happened to a photographer on the East Coast (New York City?) a few years ago. He was in the hospital being examined for another illness and the docs found a .38 slug in his brain.

As best as the patient and the cops could figure out - or so I recall from the story I read - he'd apparently acquired the bullet while covering a labor protest about twenty-five years before. The victim thought he'd been hit in the head with a brick at the time; the emergency-room doc who treated him afterwards, not realizing there was much more to the story, gave him a tetanus shot, a couple of stitches and a Band-aid and sent him home...

Nah, mud, not a pinky waver..... but come to think of it, I did once fall asleep on the dining room table after a couple of martinis

Huh? Mr. Nike needs to be examined for brain bullets.
