Kids, don't try this at home

Troubling news out of Nigeria that has nothing to do with money laundering:

A traditional doctor in central Nigeria has been shot dead... testing the potency of an anti-bullet charm the herbalist had prepared...

To confirm its efficacy, the herbalist tied the charm around his neck and insisted that [the client] should fire a gun at him. The experiment proved fatal for the herbalist and his skull was shattered.

Let me go on record saying what a bad idea this was to begin with.

If I were forumlating a preventative formula to avoid being gunshot, it would consist of the following

• 2 parts Notgetting shot
  
• 1 part Notpissongoffthosewhohave guns
  
• A pinch of Common sense
  
• Mix together and apply liberally where ever you travel.
