(AP) LAFAYETTE, Colo. Hours after laughing about Vice President Dick Cheney's hunting mishap, Josh Kayser was himself shot by a friend during a hunting expedition.

The 21-year-old Lafayette man was taken to the hospital Monday night after his girlfriend accidentally shot him while they were trailing a raccoon that had been preying on chickens on his family's property.

"I read that thing about the vice president and said to myself 'how can you shoot your friend with your gun?' And look what happened," he said Tuesday.

Kayser was crouched down to look under a shed where he thought a wounded raccoon was hiding, and his 17-year-old girlfriend accidentally shot him with a .22-caliber rifle. Police have not identified the girlfriend.

I wonder how long it took him to call all the news services and inform them that he had been shot. It seems the girlfriend is in hiding and trying to cover it up since she didn't go running to the press.

I think Halliburton was involved somehow....

That's what a 21 year old gets for dating a 17 year old.

My parents eloped when my dad was 21 and my mother was a week from being sixteen. She spent the next fifty-something years threatening to shoot him, but never got around to it.

She did throw a pot of coffee at him one day, though.

Her dad should be the one taking shots at him.
