I saw a patient the other day that had a gun shot wound in the foot. He said that he was just walking along when he heard a loud pop and felt something squishy in his shoe. When he took his shoe off there was a lot of blood in his shoe and a hole in the top of his foot. So, he came to us to check it out.
But there was a hole in the bottom of the foot, also (indicating that the trajectory of the bullet was vertical. What, are aliens shooting people from above these days?). The x-ray of his foot confirmed the track the bullet took through his foot, top to bottom. Then when we took his pants off, we found he had powder burns along the inside of the thigh of the same leg.
Busted. You did it dude, so why are you trying to blame some other dude?
