Insomnia must be a bitch. Fortunately, nodding off to never-never land is something that’s never been a problem for me. I can see how not sleeping can have its up-side, though. At least you have lots of time to do all the little things that otherwise seem to slip through the cracks. Just think how immaculate your guns would always be with those extra hours each day…

Kristi Ellis must be one of those really thoughtful, giving people. She was up and cleaning her sweetie’s heater in the wee hours of Sunday morning. At least, that’s what she says. Unfortunately – if you believe her story – she forgot to check that the gun was empty first. And that’s how she ended up shooting her boyfriend, Michael Allih, in the gullet. Except she ‘accidently’ fired the gun twice. From nbcmiami.com:

Kristi Ellis, 40, told police that at 4 a.m. she’s couldn’t sleep and to make her boyfriend, 40-year-old Michael Allih, feel better she decided to clean his .38 revolver, said Sgt. Christopher Chastain, Davie Police spokesman.  The gun went off twice and one bullet hit him in the abdomen.

Again, taking her story at face value, she’s certainly deserving of IGOTD distinction. And we’ll be happy to make sure she gets her trophy. But the Davie, Florida PD may want to find out if any new life insurance policies have been issued on Mr. Allih recently. If so, we may have to take back our IGOTD award and issue one to her for creative story-telling.
