Fear of Death

The Pillsbury Dough Boy. Cute. Cuddly. And wanted for attempted murder.

Well, not exactly ...

A woman in Arkansas was sitting in her car in a parking lot last year when she heard a loud bang and then felt a sharp pain in the back of her head. She was holding her hands behind her head when someone walked by and asked, "Are you OK?"

The woman answered, "I've been shot in the head, and I'm holding my brains in."

Well, it wasn't her brains.

It was dough. A Pillsbury biscuit canister had exploded in the back seat, apparently from the heat, making a loud explosion and shooting the dough into the back of the woman's head.

So, this woman in Arkansas got bashed by a biscuit. What's next? Muffin muggers? Toast thieves? Cookie cons?

I'm on a "roll" now ...
