Michael Leon Ward, 22, of Georgia, is either the dumbest or luckiest person in the world. Ward was stopped for speeding and arrested by North Carolina police after it was discovered there was a warrant out for his arrest in an Atlanta murder, reports KLTA Los Angeles.

Ward called the guards into his cell in the Onslow County Jail and told them he had found a gun in the toilet. Since Ward had been strip-searched and put into the cell block sheriff’s investigators were unsure how the gun got there but they did say in a press release that Ward was transported to a local hospital "for possible injuries that may have occurred to Ward's rectum where it is believed Ward may have concealed" the 10-inch weapon.

That’s not even the punchline. After test-firing the gun, the sheriff’s office found it to be in working order.

Can you imagine? One errant gas bubble and this genius could have shot himself in the colon. We're nominating him for a Darwin Award. In any event, that’s one for the books.
