Woman shot in her own driveway.

[Falcon]

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 it! i had kind of "lost" one of those in the fridge past its "use by" date, one quiet evening it blew up insude the fridge with a terrible bang, & when i got nerve up to open the door, shreds of dough were draped all over everything else in there.

Geezerette, I know it was a mess to clean up, because it happened to me too. I generally don't use canned biscuits except on holidays, and we forgot about it until early one am. We thought someone was breaking in, and the hubby grab his bat that stayed by the head of the bed, and ran to the refrigerator. It was so funny.

I don't know what a Pillsbury biscuit canister is, but if I ever see one I shall avoid it like the plague! The story is very funny even if untrue.

Many thanks Pappy, now I know what the canister looks like. It seems a good idea to me [dough in a can] it obviously hasn't been done here, although we can buy part baked bread usually rolls [you call them biscuits?] and baguettes.
