A Guy's Got to Eat!!
From Bloomberg:
Conn. Gunshot Victim Eats Before Going to Hospital
2010-11-11 20:29:13.916 GMT
New Haven, Conn. (AP) -- Police say a 25-year-old Connecticut man who was shot twice after buying a sandwich at a New Haven deli went home and ate his lunch before going to the hospital. Miguel Soto said he was leaving the deli Tuesday when he heard three gunshots. One bullet hit him in the left leg, another in the groin. Police said he went home and ate the sandwich before asking his father to take him to a hospital.
Police did not say whether Soto realized immediately that he had been shot, or if he decided the injuries were not serious enough to require an immediate hospital trip.
Officers say his injuries were not life-threatening. A message was left Thursday for a New Haven police spokesman, and no arrests were immediately reported.
Along these lines, we had a case in Memphis Criminal Court several years ago that involved a shooting in the parking lot of a Church's Chicken joint. The witness testifying described in detail how he had placed an order and then gone to the parking lot where he got into an argument with some of his "buddies." He whipped out a pistol and shot one of the guys who climbed on a car hood and managed to hold on while one of his companions sped out of the parking lot in the car while the witness continued to unload his pistol into the car.
At that point, his attorney (who apparently hadn't spent a lot of time with his client) said, "And then what did you do?" Answer: "I went back inside to see if my chicken was ready."

In this guy's defense, New Haven is known for good deli.
