??!! “Boozy Russian Man Fails to Notice Knife in Back”
posted by on April 17 at 9:54 AM
Ah, Russia:
The newspapers Komsomolskaya Pravda and Gazeta both reported the case of a factory electrician in the town of Vologda, north of Moscow, who was stabbed by the building’s security guard as they were having a drunken argument.Passing out at the factory, the man, Yury Lyalin, 53, awoke the next morning and attempted to resume his work duties, but was sent home by his superiors due to his inebriated state. No one noticed the 15-centimetre (six-inch) blade stuck between his shoulders.
Lyalin took a meandering course home — at first missing his bus stop — had a bite to eat, decided to lie down for a while and was only alerted to the knife in his spine when his wife woke him hours later, the newspapers reported.
The knife “went into soft tissue and by pure luck did not touch any vital organs,” a doctor who treated Lyalin, Victor Belov, was quoted by Komsomolskaya Pravda as saying.
Man, I hate it when that happens.
I've spent a lot of time in Russia, and can say that many times during extended visits I was drunk to the point that I would not have noticed a knife in my back. Those Russians know how to tie one on.
I was mugged and stabbed in the back while living in Atlanta years ago. I too had a 6 inch knife sticking out my back and did not know it until I stopped a guy coming out of his truck to have him call the police. He said "I'd better call an ambulance too cause you have a knife sticking out of your back". Same thing as for missing spine and organs. Half inch from anything vital.
