Would-Be Gangster Shot Off Own Manhood

Alex — Sat, 23 May 2009 18:33:48 +0000

Here’s a lesson for all you tough guys: don’t stick a gun in your pants to impress friends, lest you shoot off your manhood!

Lukas Neuhardt, 27, had forgotten to put the safety catch on when he stuffed the gun into his trouser pocket to impress pals in Saarbruecken, Germany.

He told paramedics that a masked mugger had blasted him in the crutch in a bungled robbery.

But police found a hole in his statement when they saw that the gunshot had miraculously left his trousers intact.

"Instead there was a charred hole in his pocket so either it was the shot of the century or he did it himself," said a police source.
