I used to described everyone's favorite Koran-burning Florida pastor as the "unfunny" Terry Jones, to distinguish him from his Monty Python namesake. But I may have to rethink that designation.

Controversial Pastor Terry Jones accidentally fired his .40-caliber handgun while he was at a Southfield television studio Thursday night, according to police.

The outspoken pastor, 59, of Gainesville, Fla., was getting in the passenger side of his car at 11:10 p.m. after an interview when the Taurus handgun went off, sending a bullet into the floorboard, Southfield Police Lt. Nick Loussia said today.

[...] As he entered a Dearborn courtroom this morning, Jones told reporters that he had been up since 4:30 a.m. and firing his gun was "an accident."

Because nothing fights off the effects of sleep deprivation like a gun. FYI, this is presumably the same handgun Jones promised to bring to his bizarre anti-Sharia law rally in Dearborn, MI today.
