(AP headline Sun,15 Oct 2000)

Linda Burnett, 23, a resident of San Diego, was visiting her in-laws,
and while there went to a nearby supermarket to pick up some groceries.

Several people noticed her sitting in her car with the windows rolled up
and her eyes closed, with both hands behind the back of her head.

One customer who had been at the store for a while became concerned
and walked over to the car. He noticed that Linda's eyes looked strange.

He asked her if she was okay, and Linda replied that she'd been shot
in the back of the head, and had been holding her brains in for over an hour.

The man 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 and tried to hold her brains
in for over an hour until someone noticed and came to her aid.
And, yes, Linda is a blonde.

Spread the word.
