Hey! It was only an itch.

A man accidentally shot himself in the testicles in a Lowe's store in Seattle. Apparently it is a common practice to carry a gun in the waistband of your pants with the barrel facing down toward your penis. No normal person would carry a knife like that, so why a gun? It was rumored it all began with an enterprising armed robber. When he walked up to the clerk at the local convenience store and stuck his hand down his crotch he knew the clerk would think he just had jock itch. When he pulled a gun out it took his unwary victim completely by surprise. Thanks to that incident every time you walk in a 7/11 and reach down to scratch your nuts Mohammed jumps over the counter and starts swinging a golf club at you.
