Don’t Shoot Yourself in the Foot

In 2008 a star football player for the N.Y. Giants named Plaxico Burress was out partying at a N.Y. city club. He was drinking, dancing and having a good ole time when a pistol he was carrying went off and he was shot in his leg and foot with his own gun. He was out of action for a while and was the butt of many jokes by his teammates and opposing players. To add insult to injury New York City insisted on putting a favorite son in jail for two years for shooting himself! This was a very expensive and embarrassing accident that cost twenty months of his life. Yet for years some companies and individuals have took turns shooting themselves in the foot from time to time.
