Former NHL goalie recovering after shooting
Oct 9, 5:35 pm EDT

MINDEN, Nev. (AP)—Clint Malarchuk, the former NHL goalie best known for having his jugular vein slashed by a skate in a 1989 game with Buffalo, is recovering after accidentally shooting himself in the chin with a rifle.

Wife Christy told sheriff’s deputies that the .22-caliber rifle discharged after her husband placed the butt on the ground between his legs. He had been shooting rabbits.

The 47-year-old former player, now a goalie coach with the Columbus Blue Jackets, was flown by helicopter to a Reno hospital for treatment Tuesday.

“Our concern is with Clint and his well being,” the Blue Jackets said Thursday. “We are optimistic that he will have a full recovery very soon.”

We were asked to exchange links with a website that would in no way, shape, form, or fashion suggest exchanging links with us if they had in fact looked at our material at all.

Now, if she had asked to have their link posted on the “Ode To The Colorectal Surgeon” page, I could understand.

Really, what could I possibly call this post that would be better than the material provided?

A prisoner had just been sentenced for a heinous crime and was returned to his cell. An inquisitive guard could not wait to ask him about the outcome.
      Guard:”What did you get for a sentence?”
      Prisoner: “I could choose life or 100 years.”
      Guard: “And what did you choose?”
      Prisoner: “Well, life, obviously. Statistically speaking that is shorter.”

As a biologist, a physicist, and a statistician are riding on a train through Wisconsin, they pass a herd of cows, one of which is completely white.
      Biologist: “Oh look, there are white cows in Wisconsin.”
      Physicist: “You mean there is at least one white cow in Wisconsin.”
      Statistician: “No, there is at least one cow in Wisconsin that’s white on at least one side!”

A man was in a hot-air balloon. Soon he found himself lost with nothing but green fields for as far as the eye could see. Eventually, he happened to float over a man who was walking his dog. He leaned over the basket and yelled out, “Hello! Where am I?”

The man on the ground replied, “You’re about 20 feet above the ground in a hot-air balloon.”

The balloonist cursed him and shouted back, “You must be a statistician.”

“Why do you say that?” asked the man on the ground.

“Well,” shouted the balloonist, “You’re absolutely correct but your answer was completely useless.”

“Oh I see,” replied the walker, “And you must be a manager.”

“Actually, you’re right,” said the balloonist. “How did you know?”

“Well,” said the walker, “first you were lost. Then, after working out what information you needed to sort yourself out, you asked someone else to get it for you. Now, that you have the information, you’re still lost, but it’s someone else’s fault.”
