Scenario 15
Jim Bob is shooting squirrels in his back yard. One large dastardly beast makes a break for it. The squirrel, known as Clyde, hops on the rusted rickety aluminum fence, over the broken down Firebird, into a tree branch and leaps to safety down the street. The entire time Jim Bob is firing at the pest. Unfortunately, the 13 beer consumed by JB earlier that day are having an affect on his normal accuracy. In fact, one bullet glances off the pristine right rear hubcap, off the top of the fence, clangs off the “Trespassers will be persecuted” sign, ricochets off the nails embedded in the oak tree and fatally wounds his wife Sue Ellen as she is walking home from cleaning up road kill. What will happen?
