Police: Marion man accidentally shoots himself in the genitals

A Marion man is recovering in the hospital after police say he accidentally shot himself in the groin.

Around 6:45 a.m. Thursday, Marion Police were called out to the hospital for an accidental self-inflicted gunshot injury.

Mark Anthony Jones, 46, told police in the emergency room that he was walking around near the Girl Scout cabin.

Jones said he had a Hi Point 9mm handgun in his waistband when the gun began to slip.

Beyond the obvious stupidity, why is a man walking near a Girl Scout cabin with a pistol in his waistband?

Was he there to kidnap them and sell them into the sex trade?

don't you ever get up in the dark and wander around a girl scout cabin with a loaded handgun in your waistband?

or maybe it was:

The gun began to slip
He couldn't get a grip
and blew his balls clear off

what did he tell his wife
who he'd been married to all his life
and his kids and his employer too?

"I thought I saw a bear
but my gun stuck in my underwear
and now I'm a enuch in a choir."



Feel free to add a verse if you'd like.

And it does seem likely he'll have the ignominious distinction of being a living winner of a Darwin Award...
