Man's fat stopped bullet

A 20-stone mugging victim's life was saved in Germany when a bullet fired at him was trapped in his fat.
Rolf Mittelhaus, 49, didn't even notice he'd been shot until he was examined after reporting the attack to police two days later.

"A mugger attacked me and I heard a loud bang but I'd been drinking and didn't really know what was going on.

I didn't feel any pain," he told police in Dortmund.
Medics found the bullet stuck in rolls of fat when it fell out during a routine examination for injuries.

"It had barely pierced the skin and was smothered by all the flesh around it," said a police spokesman.

FYI - One stone = 14 pounds = 6.35029318 kilograms.:o)

or heart attack, adult onset diabetes, stroke. . .

I say whatever you are comfortable with. . .

However, the new trend in socialized medicine will be financial penalties for poor diet and lack of physical fitness (you will be charged for being fat).

Thanks Brit, for the conversion. I can never remember how much a stone is! :-D

He didn't feel it because of the fat, or because of the booze?
