Happy Passover

(2)

I had to laugh at the idiot DEA agent who accidentally shot himself (on video!) while giving a lecture to school children on the subject of 'gun safety.' Apparently he was in a classroom full of children playing with a loaded automatic pistol. Is that wise? Shouldn't there be a law against that? Anyway, during his lecture on gun safety he shot himself 'in the thigh.'

I was immediately reminded of the movie, Young Frankenstein, where the lecturer (Gene Wilder) stabbed himself in the thigh with a scalpel accidentally while making a point to his medical students. Incredulous, he opened his hand, stared at the embedded scalpel, closed his hand around it again, then announced, 'Class dismissed.' It was a funny moment.

So, what does one say at such a moment? The video did not favor us with his post-shooting comment. Had he seen, Young Frankenstein, and if so did he have the presence of mind to mimic the famous Wilder scene? Probably not. He probably said something incredibly lame.

I couldn't help speculating on another possible scenerio: suppose the bullet had gone a little higher than his thigh. Suppose he had shot himself in the penis. Would he have had the presence of mind to say something like, 'Happy Passover?'
