Get someone to shoot your arm to skip work

Want a surefire way of skipping work, or even a drug test? Some guy in Washington asked his friend to shoot him in the shoulder so he wouldn't have to go to work. The place he was working for was scheduled to have a drug test on that day. Although initially he reported to police that he was shot while jogging, he conceded later to asking a friend to shoot him to skip his work. He's been charged with false reporting.
