Duck! The food’s shooting back!

You will never lose betting on human stupidity.

A man and his wife ducked behind a refrigerator when bullets began exploding in their oven, authorities say.

Capt. Craig Kohlbeck of the Brown County Sheriff’s Department said the husband had put the ammunition and three handguns in the oven before the couple left on a vacation.

He told officers he thought the items would be safe there in case someone broke into the home while they were away.

After returning from their trip Tuesday, the wife turned on the oven to prepare dinner and the bullets ignited, Kohlbeck said.

No one was hurt.

Of course, as amusing as this is, I can see it happening. At one point many years ago, mom decided that she’d store some of her unused Tupperware in the oven. Later on, Dad decided to cook.

After she had to get new Tupperware, mom decided that there were better places to store it.
