It wasn't the PINK that was the problem, it was the lack of GRAY matter.
I've seen guys do that on TV and movies most of my life, and always thought it seemed like a bad idea.
Years ago, a man in CA raped a woman at gunpoint, and as he ran off, he tucked the handgun into his waistband and accidentally fired it as he did so. He apparently did hit the femoral artery (the news article just said 'groin'), as the police said he died just a few minutes later. I guess he was easy to follow. Couldn't help chuckling at the time. I still smile at the memory. Sometimes what goes around, comes around, and sometimes it happens pretty fast. I hope it hurt a lot.
