(the actual AP headline)
Linda Burnett, 23, a resident of San Diego , was visiting her in-laws and
while there went to a nearby supermarket to pick up some groceries. Several
people noticed her sitting in her car with the windows rolled up and with
her eyes closed, with both hands behind the back of her head. One customer
who had been at the store for a while became concerned and walked over to
the car. He noticed that Linda's eyes were now open, and she looked very
strange. He asked her if she was okay.
Linda replied that she'd been shot in the back of the head, and had been
holding her brains in for over an hour.
The man called the paramedics, who broke into the car because the doors were
locked and Linda refused to remove her hands from her head.
When they f inally got in, they found that Linda had a wad of bread dough on
the back of her head. A Pillsbury biscuit canister had exploded from the
heat, making a loud noise that sounded like a gunshot, and the wad of dough
hit her in the back of her head. When she reached back to find out what it
was, she felt the dough and thought it was her brains. She initially passed
out, but quickly recovered and tried to hold her brains in for over an hour
until someone noticed and came to her aid.
Linda is a blonde and a Democrat, but I'm certain that's irrelevant.
