Really.
TIJUANA, MEXICO - David Smith Sr., who alreadt holds a world record for the longest distance traveled by a human fired from a cannon, now has another feat on his record.
Smith was shot across the U.S.-Mexico border on Saturday, soaring about 150 feet and landing uninjured in a net in San Diego with U.S. Border Patrol agents and an ambulance waiting nearby.
Although it is against the law for anyone, including U.S. citizens, to enter the country outside an official port of entry, Smith wasn't crossing illegally.
U.S. Border Patrol Chief David Aguilar made an exception for him, said Border Patrol spokesman Kurstan Rosberg. And Smith flashed his U.S. passport as he climbed into the barrel.
Smith, of Half Way, Mo., is listed in the Guinness World Records for record distance for a human fired from a cannon on May 29, 1998, in West Mifflin, Pa.
Was border patrol there to make sure there weren't any stowaways? wtf.
