New Orleans Finally Back to Normal?

There are bullets falling out of the sky at the Zurich Classic:

Paul Prudhomme was setting up his cooking tent on the practice range at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans golf event when he felt a sting in his right arm, just above his elbow.

Prudhomme shook his shirt sleeve and a .22-caliber bullet fell to the ground, a spokesman for the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office said.

Deputies believe Prudhomme was hit by a falling bullet, probably shot about 9:30 a.m. Tuesday from somewhere within a 1 1/2 -mile radius of the golf course, said Col. John Fortunato. The celebrated chef didn't require medical attention.

Or maybe it's just that Chef Prudhomme is a hard target to miss.

(My apologies to the good people of New Orleans - especially to those for whom life is most definitely not back to normal. But hey, some jokes are hard to pass up.)

is it my imagination...
...or does that picture of Prudhomme look like the love child of Burt Reynolds and Dom DeLuis ??
