For those of you still trying to find that perfect plot bunny for the Valentine's Day Contest...from here:
A solider at Fort Bragg in Fayetteville, North Carolina, tried to bring his wife a surprise breakfast in bed Friday morning, but as his reward for the romantic gesture, he found himself in the hospital with a gunshot wound to the chest. Police believe the shooting was simply a mistake, but they continue to investigate the circumstances of the shooting.
There are so many ways to spin this and so many categories in which to put such spins...where does one start?
 
Sigh. It's obvious. The wife was a whore and thought that the man was a paying customer. She then grabbed a gun and said, "What? You think that I work for just food?" Boom!
 
Probably from the same argument we have in our house. I like my scrambled eggs folded and my wife likes them beaten to death.
 
More than likely, the boyfriend didn't have time to hide in the closet.
 
Where's lovecraft68? I was sure he'd be by here by now to celebrate. Or maybe he's busy making a Literotica story submission based on this.

*ducks*

That was my first thought, Hubby was pulling night duty, got a buddy to cover for him, left early and stopped somewhere to pick up the breakfast on his way home, then walked in on the wife in bed with a trigger happy boyfriend who shot and ran.

Or maybe the boyfriend shot too soon for the wife earlier, pissed her off, they had words and boyfriend left. When hubby walked in she thought she was shooting the premature boyfriend who had pissed her off earlier.

Yeah, yeah, weak, but then so are most of my plots.

Hubby was shot through the door. So she didn't know who she was shooting. She said she thought it was a burglar. Yeah, right.

Clearly her husband should've served her breakfast in bed more often. If it wasn't such a rare thing she may not have thought him a burglar and shot :devil:

I found the complete story and this is the synopsis:

Husband and wife are at home.
At some point he leaves to get her breakfast.
When he returns, the home alarm goes off.
Wife grabs gun and shoots through door.

The story did not say if he said anything when he came back, was trying to turn off the alarm or anything like that. The only they are certain of is the woman fired without knowing who was inside the home.

I agree with 3113's suggestion that if the husband had made a habit of bringing his wife her breakfast in bed more often, perhaps her only thought might not have been that there was a burglar coming through her door.

Also, too, if he had learned to cook, he probably would have been in the kitchen whipping up breakfast, instead of leaving the security of his home to buy a breakfast-like substitute at some fast food joint, and not be setting off the alarm when he came home.

The smell of the coffee might even have woken her up enough to welcome him with a big smile, instead of a salvo of lead.
 
The quite typical female perspective that it's always the man's fault(?) :rolleyes: (As always, men are fair game on TV sit coms and the forum, but women aren't? Geez. He was doing something nice. She shot a bullet through a closed door. Which one is the dingaling again?)

One thing I can tell you is that's one woman who has had her breakfast-in-bed privileges revoked for all time.

What this illustrates from me, yet again, is that most the time you keep a loaded gun by your bed, you're going to kill yourself or a family member, not an intruder.

At the very least, you'll kill your favorite pillow. Not to mention making yourself deaf.
 
Occam's Razor (the simplest explanation covering all the facts is probably correct) says she just wanted to shoot him. It's that easy.

So why did she not simply slash his throat ?

Sad but true stories. A few months before my Dad died of cancer, he got up to pee during the night and when he came back into the bedroom my mom had a gun pointed at him. He spoke quickly and she turned, tucked the gun into the nightstand and went to sleep. She never remembered it, but did remember a bad dream about a housebreaker.

Apparently she was dreaming.

I walked in on my first wife once. She had gone to bed much earlier and I stayed up to watch a movie on TV. Before I opened the bedroom door I shut all the lights off so as not to wake her when I came into the bedroom. I did wake her. She screamed loud and long, shriek after shriek, and I couldn't find the light switch. I couldn't get a sound out of my throat and all I could think of was that she was going to shoot me since she kept the .45 her dad had giver her for the wedding on her nightstand.

She was sitting up in bed, screaming madly when I finally got the light on. Funny thing though, she was horny as hell once she calmed down.

Whoever said that anyone who keeps a gun by the bed is bound to shoot someone is wrong. They're only MORE likely to shoot someone.
