Cleaning the Crossbow

Nearly a Darwin Award candidate:

A man is recovering after shooting himself with his own crossbow.

Weapons collector Steve Samson, from Rochford, Essex, was cleaning the crossbow when the aluminium [sic] arrow speared seven inches into his body.

Waitwaitwait... "cleaning the crossbow"? While the prod is under tension and a bolt is on the tray?!

Sorry, I gotta call shenanigans on this one, Stevie-boy. You were playing knights and robbers, weren't you? Come on and fess up, 'cause that "cleaning the crossbow" line ain't foolin' nobody. In fact, it sounds more like a euphemism for male masturbation than a reason for accidentally shooting yourself.

According to the Sun, Steve said "It's just about the most stupid thing I've done in my life..."

WAITJUSTAMINUTE!!!! If this is JUST about the most stupid thing he has ever done, I shudder to wonder what the MOST stupid thing he ever did is and how he survived it.

Uncle Charles is keeping this guy on his speed dial!!!
