Seems I've seen this before:
*Woman Shot in her own Driveway*
Linda Burnett, 26, a resident of San Diego , was visiting her in-laws and, while there, went to a nearby supermarket to pick up some groceries.
Later, her husband noticed her sitting in her car in the driveway with the windows rolled up and her eyes closed, with both hands behind the back of her head.
He became concerned and walked over to the car. He noticed that Linda 's eyes were now open and she looked very strange. He asked her if she was okay, and Linda replied that she had been shot in the back of the head and had been holding her brains in for over an hour.
The husband called the paramedics, who broke into the car because the doors were locked and Linda refused to remove her hands from her head.
When they finally got in, they found that Linda had a wad of bread dough on the back of her head.
A Pillsbury biscuit canister had exploded from the heat, making a loud noise that sounded like a gunshot, and the wad of dough hit her in the back of her head.
When she reached back to find out what it was, she felt the dough and thought it was her brains. She initially passed out, but quickly recovered.
Linda is a blonde, a Democrat, and an Obama supporter, but that could all be a coincidence.
The defective biscuit canister was analyzed and the expiration date was from 2008, so it was determined to be Bush's fault.

I believe the first time I saw that was 30+ years ago.

Re: Women "Shot" in Head
Actually, my father went through a similar, but much more gruesome event on Iwo Jima, just a few minutes before he was shot. A Japanese mortar round landed a few feet away, behind him, and it blew one of his men's body completely apart. A piece of meat from that body hit my dad square in the middle of his back hard enough to knock the wind out of him and knock him down. When he reached back and felt the wet mess on his back, and pulled his hand back and saw all the blood on it, he first thought that he had been wounded and started to call for a corpsman. His sergeant brushed the mess of tissue off of dad's back and told him he was OK, and he started to calm down. It was just a few minutes after that when he was shot through the chest for real.

A blond Democrat Obama voter holding her brains in? Impossible.

If it was dough does that make it a money shot?
