Woman Held Hostage by Pillsbury Biscuit

[dani3839]

Linda Burnett, 23, a resident of San Diego, was visiting her in-laws, and while there, went to a nearby supermarket to pick up some groceries.

Several people noticed her sitting in her car with the windows rolled up, eyes closed, and both hands behind the back of her head.

One customer who had been at the store for a while became concerned and walked over to the car. He noticed that Linda’s eyes were now open and she looked very strange.

He asked her if she was okay, and she replied that she had been shot in the back of the head and had been holding her brains in for over an hour.

The man called the paramedics who broke into the car because the doors were locked and Linda refused to remove her hands from her head. When they finally got in, they found that she had a wad of bread dough on the back of her head.

A Pillsbury biscuit canister had exploded from the heat, making a loud noise that sounded like a gunshot, and the wad of dough hit her in the back of her head. When she reached back to find out what it was, she felt the dough and thought it was her brains. She had initially passed out, but quickly recovered and tried to hold her brains in for over an hour until someone noticed and came to her aid.

This is a time-honored urban legend that has circulated for quite a while.

It was not published by the Associated Press and anyone with a news background can tell it is not written by a professional journalist.

For one thing, there is no location mentioned...a "must" for a legitimate news story.

There are some versions that mention the parking lot of a particular store and at least one version that says this happened in San Diego, but none of them has ever turned out to be true.

I figured it probably wasnt true but still struck me funny as I know how those cans pop and could just imagine some poor person actually getting scared they were shot at if it popped!

Okay, this might be Urban Legend. But what about the Hamburger Helper Hand being up on charges for groping people in a Tuscan, Walmart?
