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."
And now for the icing on the cake - a picture of Samantha and her life-saving love handles.
As you can see, she certainly couldn't rely on her bra's underwire, like this lady from Detroit, whose bra deflected a bullet.
Can someone please educate me as to when love handles turn into plain old-fashioned fat rolls? Also, does anyone else see the irony? Maybe her so-called love handles wouldn't have been in the bullet's way had they not been so, er, lovely. And now Samantha thinks she should GAIN weight as a protective measure?
Maybe I need to move to a bad neighborhood so I can quit working out and embrace my hips as the lifesaving parts they could prove to be.

ummmm as a nurse I would have to say the hospital staff was just being nice by saying her "love handles" saved her... what they were thinkin was good thing your are so fat!
One word: GROSS. The least she could do was put on some clothing that helps disguises rather than accentuates!
I think Jenny nailed it on the head!
