I Hate When This Happens

I saw this story posted in our local newspaper. Couldn't help sharing. What did I tell you? It is friggin' crazy down here!

The stuffed head of a water buffalo crushed a man early Friday morning. The Monroe County Sheriff's Office says Jim Harris called 911 at 1:20 a.m. and that all he could do was yell his address and say he was "crushed."

Deputies rushed to the scene, a home at mile marker 88. When they got inside, they found Harris, who said he had fallen asleep in his recliner. He was abruptly awakened when the buffalo head, which had been hanging on the wall next to him, fell onto his lap.

Deputy Becky Herrin says the head weighs about 80 pounds, and that Harris "was literally pinned in the chair" by the horns and couldn't move. But his cell phone was close enough that he was able to call for help.

He was taken to Mariners Hospital for treatment of the injuries inflicted by the stuffed head.
