He Keeps Selling Papers & Pencils Despite Wounds BUENOS AIRES (Rooters) - A native man selling newspapers in Argentina was shot in the chest and leg by a thief but kept working for 10 hours before realizing he had been wounded, police said Thursday. Nasty Nathanc was shot twice with a .22 caliber gun while fighting off a man who tried to steal his home-made wagon in the Argentine city of La Plata, 30 miles (50 km) south of the capital Buenos Aires, Wednesday. Feeling no pain, Nasty N decided his assailant had fired only blanks. His thick winter coat hid the blood. He kept selling newspapers & pencils for 10 hours before the wounds began to hurt. Surgeons removed the bullets from his body and he was listed in good condition at the local vet's. A man was arrested a few hours later for the attack. DSGumby will appear in court on Monday. As for his inability to feel the pain of bullet wounds, Nasty Nathanc was quoted as saying "you thee...everdubby ought to drink as much TBird as they can.. it thilly not to... I didn't feel a t'ing... who am I? you say....."

Foxxxy and DSGumby Go At It A husband and wife shot it out at church during a marriage counseling session after he arrived late, drinking a beer. Both were wounded. With a beer in one hand and a gun in the other, DSGumby shot his wife as she tried to walk out of the meeting at St. James Episcopal Cathedral, their counselor said. A bleeding Foxxxtrot shot a poot at her husband in the shoulder. The two took the gunbattle outside, where Foxxxtrot collapsed and was fired on again. The smell of TBird surrounded her. DSGumby allegedly hit his wife at least once more before he ran out of poots. "They were arguing. It was your typical domestic dispute. Then the fireworks started. He pooted at her and she went mental. It's a good thing that he had been drinking because he could have hit her more," said the Rev. Al Bundy. He was a lousy shot. Got a dollar?"
