WICHITA, Kan. ( AP) — A botched kidnapping ended with one of the assailants shooting himself in the groin, Wichita police said. The man had just stuck the gun back into his waistband when it fired, shooting him in the left testicle.

He cringed, causing the gun to fire again and strike him in the left calf.

Ummmm, ow. That will ruin his Christmas. Not to mention his New Year’s Eve, his Easter, his St. Patrick’s Day and his Kwanzaa.

Police caught up to the man after he managed to walk himself to the hospital. Apparently his high school gym coach’s advice of “walking it off” didn’t work as well as he hoped.

But wait, it gets dumber. He and two other accomplices were attempting to kidnap a teen in a dispute over a stereo. He said he planned to kidnap the teen and wait for the stereo to deliver the ransom.

    Pity it wasn’t both testicles, he’d have been a perfect entry for a Darwin Award.

    Did he lose the testicle?! Are you kidding me?! Even the most well endowed man could not shoot himself in the left teticle and still ahev that left testicle. Oy.

    Oh wow- someone’s actually dumb enough to re-enact a scene from “Lonestar: State Of Mind”?! Well, unintentionally, I guess, but still…

    “Pity it wasn’t both testicles, he’d have been a perfect entry for a Darwin Award.”
    You have to die to get a Darwin Award, I think. But I read about a guy who, as a dare, put both testicles inside one of the golfball cleaners at a golf course. Didn’t end well.
