BERLIN - Police say a Polish man living in Germany was shot in the back of his head, but that it took him five years to realize it. Police said Tuesday that the 35-year-old men was hit by a .22-caliber bullet in the western town of Herne as he was out in the street partying and drunk on New Year's Eve five years ago. They say the man recalled receiving a blow to the head, but told them he didn't seek medical assistance at the time. The bullet did not penetrate the skull, and police say the man only went to see a doctor recently when he felt a lump on the back of his head. An X-ray showed an object under his skin, and doctors operated and found the projectile. Police say it may have been a stray bullet fired by a reveler in celebration.
Alright, what the fuck is going on here? You are telling me that you got so blacked out that you didn't realize you got shot in the head? I mean I've seen the other side of the blackness but shot in the head!?! Like when you wake up the next morning with a bullet in your fucking head you don't feel it? I mean MAYBE I can understand if this guy was on a bender and was B'd the fuck O for a few days but 5 years?!? I honestly have no idea how shit like this happens.
Even when I'm hammered I know when something hurts. And when you feel something hurt when you are hammered you know the next day you are completely fucked, because if it hurts when you are blacked it's going to hurt about 600x worse the next day when you are sober. So I'd like to think I would feel a bullet go into the back of my head. I'm no Rasputin but I think if I got popped in the back of the head with a .22 I'd drop to my knees and at least pass out.
I mean thinking about it now I guess getting shot when you are hammered and not realizing isn't the most deranged part about this story. I think the fact that it took this man 5 years to realize is the most mind-boggling part. Does the man not shower or wash his hair? Has he not gone through a metal detector ever in his life? Like dude you have a fucking bullet in the back of your head that's not a natural feeling bump. I love the casual end to the story too. The man "only recently went to a doctor because of the lump on the back of his head." That's the kicker. Guy must be out of his mind at all times to just feel the lump now after 5 years.
P.S. Do you think this guy pulls any tail with this story? "Yea I was out partying and got shot in the back of the head. Want to see the bullet lodged in the back of my skull?"
