Didn't know that made me a redneck - thought it made me McGyver.

I thought the "Hold my beer and watch this" comment only applied to Idaho, where I went to college to get my Mechanical Engineering degree. It was a regular activity there to go drinking and driving on all the country roads, because its actually leagal, provided it was only beer or wine, and the driver was not drunk... 
) Go figure the logic in that one.

I believe this was in the American Rifeman as a true story. Two guys from Arkansas were about to drive home from hunting in their old Ford truck when they noticed a fuse had blown. Being a graduate of the Redneck School of Advanced Learning, Bozo decides that since he doesn't have a fuse and that a 22 Long Rifle cartridge was just the right size, he inserts the cartridge and process to drive home. Well, there is always a reason why a fuse blows and he found out the hard way that you don't jerry rig these things. It seems that the cartridge was in the middle of a short. That"s right, it overheated and went off. The bullet hit the kick panel, bounced like a magic bullet would, and hit Bozo in the crouch. I don't think he can have children anymore.

The thing about the .22 cartridge. They did a thing on that on Mythbusters a season or 2 ago. I can't seem to remember if it was verified true or not. I wanna say they got it to work, but it took more current than what could happen in a real life situtation.

Yeah, Mythbusters did a thing on it, and they had to replace the wire with about 8 or 10 gauge with a dead short to get the bullet to fire, and even then the way it fired I don't think they could even get enough direction or force out of it to do much more than to break the skin.

I'm thinking if you get hit in the twig and berry's with a .22 it would still hurt all to hell wether it broke the skin or not.

Yeah but you have to admit, just breaking the skin of ballistics gel, isn't going to hurt much and sure isn't going to make it so you can't have kids. I sure doubt the guy was sitting there in his birthday suit, if he was a true redneck he probably had a pair or Carhardts on, which we all know are a lot tougher than skin. But if I was sitting there in my birthday suit, I sure as hell would not want to get hit in the twig and berries with any form of a .22 from any trajectory.
