    Shirtless man fires corncobs at neighbor’s house using potato gun

    A Rhode Island man opened fire on his neighbor's home this week — using corncobs and a homemade potato gun.
    Jeffrey M. Osella, 50, has been feuding with his neighbor for the past 13 years, police say.
    Tuesday night, after a yelling argument between the two, Osella loaded corncobs into a PVC pipe potato gun and shot them at his neighbor’s house.
    "This particular incident did not stem from a new argument," Captain Shawn Lacey of the Westerly Police Department told USA TODAY.
    A girl riding a bicycle nearby dodged a cob, but no one was struck or injured, Lacey said.

    When police arrived at Osella’s home, he was intoxicated, shirtless and covered in corn kernels. Osella told police he didn’t shoot at the neighbor, just in the direction of his home, The Westerly Sun reported.
    Light a fire for a man, and he'll be warm for a day, light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life...

    Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?

    You know you want to do the same thing. Don't lie.

    Okay--maybe not someone's house but launching corn on a range sounds fun.

    That is a really dangerous and risky thing... using the incorrect ammunition in a weapon. Using corn in a clearly identified "potato" gun. Sure glad he didn't experience a breach failure.

    Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.

    He was found intoxicated, shirtless, and covered in corn kernels. That's what I want on my tombstone!
