Love Handles Stop Bullet: Samantha Lynn Frazier Claims Her Love Handles Saved Her Life

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — A Florida woman said her love handles saved her life when she was shot entering an Atlantic City bar. Samantha Lynn Frazier said she heard two pops when she walked into Herman's Place early Saturday. The 35-year-old then felt pain and saw blood on her hand after she grabbed her left side. Atlantic City police said Frazier was an innocent bystander.

Detective Lt. Charles Love said the gunman was aiming for a man who escaped with a bullet hole in his down jacket.

The suspect remains at large.

Frazier told The Press of Atlantic City that 'I could have been dead. They said my love handles saved my life."

Frazier also told the newspaper that she had been "hollering" that she wanted to lose weight. She now said "I want to be as big as I can if it's going to stop a bullet."

If your lifestyle or environment is such that you may need to dodge or deflect bullets from your person, then by all means pack on the tonnage.

I must admit, when I got on the Huff today I did not expect to see this.

She can't be serious! It's funny how she doesn't realize that if she were smaller, the bullet might have missed her and there would have been no need for the love handles.

Ten sizes smaller and you would not have been hit.

They aren't love handles anymore. They're f.at rolls.

If you saw this in a movie, in a weird move, heck, if you saw it in a DAVID LYNCH movie, you'd still say, "No way."

Couldn't one just as easily say that if she didn't have the love handles, the bullets would have missed her?

She looks a mess. Shot or not get dressed properly for the TV cameras, you're embarrassing yourself!
