BOSTON, Oct. 2 (UPI) -- A dog eating a watermelon helped cause a Boston man to repeatedly stab himself to prove to his brother he wasn't afraid of pain, police say.

A police report said the two unidentified brothers got into an argument this week after a dog belonging to one of the men consumed a watermelon owned by his brother, the Boston Herald said Thursday.

Tuesday's argument over the missing watermelon escalated into a shouting match between the siblings that allegedly caused one brother to repeatedly stab himself in order to show he didn't care if he got hurt, police say.

Well if he said "Ow", started bleeding, or went to the emergency room then he didn't.

I'm not worried about voting, I'm worried about operating heavy machinery and joining the army.

    Why couldn't he just have written a country song about the dog? Johnny Cash wrote a song about the blankety blank egg-sucking dog he had. I think he could had a real hit --

    But NNNOOOOOO!!!! he had to go and stab himself??? Some folks just do not have the knack of making lemonade from lemons.

    I'm southern, and I like watermelon as well as the next guy, but there are limits. Somebody is off his meds or needs some.
