Dude was shot in the head and didn't realize it until 5 yrs later... Apparently, he was too drunk to notice the gunshot wound on the back of his head!

A German man went about his business for about five years without noticing he had been shot in the head... How did he not notice something as drastic as a bullet wound in the back of his head? Seriously.. I know Germans are tough, but this is crazy.

Police in the western city of Bochum said on Tuesday doctors found a .22 caliber bullet in the back of his head after the 35 year old went to have what he thought was a cyst removed.

Presented with the 5.6mm projectile, the man recalled he had received a blow to the head around midnight at a New Year's party "in 2004 or 2005", but had forgotten about it because he had been "very drunk," a police spokesman said.

"He told us he remembered having a sore head, but that he wasn't really one for going to the doctor," the spokesman said.

The wound later healed around the bullet and it was not until the man decided to have the lump examined due to recurring pains that the discovery was made.

Police are not treating the incident as suspicious as the bullet might have got lodged in the man's head when a reveler fired a gun in celebration.

"It may have been a shot fired up in the air which entered his head on the way down," the spokesman went on to say.

The man is expected to be released from hospital later this week after the bullet was removed on Friday morning.
