General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: How can we be sure the orange anus isn't orchestrating these 'assassination' attempts. [View all]If I were going to do set up the gag, the hard part would be finding a shooter. High probability of the shooter dying, if the cops aren't in on it. No real danger to the "target".
The setup goes like this: gunman will shoot away from the "target" (a yard away) with a blank or not, and at that gunshot the "target" drops and breaks a blood capsule on his ear. Alternatively, drop and do a "Dick the Bruiser" and nick your ear with a razor, dropping the razor afterward. The next shots are with live rounds, above and to the sides of the "target". The gunman then runs.
(Dick the Bruiser was a wrestler in Detroit in the 1960's. Well known for being a tough SOB, getting into bar fights in Detroit (and clearing the bar, no matter which one. He was a tough SOB)), and getting hurt while wrestling. The gag would be he gets hit against the corner pole, and gets a head cut that bled profusely. Reality is the cut was self inflicted with a small razor that was dropped afterward.)
