   Oregon's Shannon Egeland was given a 10-year prison sentence for   
   orchestrating large-scale mortgage fraud as vice-president of Desert   
   Sun Development company.  The day before he was due to report to   
   federal prison, he was wounded in a 'random' roadside shooting that   
   required his leg to be amputated.  It later emerged that he'd ordered   
   his teenaged son to shoot him, in order to delay the sentence and   
   benefit from a disability insurance policy.  Shannon, 41, has since   
   pleaded guilty to federal charges of willful failure to pay child   
   support and conspiracy to commit wire fraud.  The latter included   
   lying to the insurance company about his arrest record, which runs the   
   gamut from the mortgage fraud, at tens of millions of dollars, to $9 in   
   shoplifting.   
      
     Shannon Egeland from Oregon ~ ran, on one leg.  Feds: "Hang, moron!"   
   or   
     Oregon's Shannon Egeland = "Gonna shed one leg!"  Son ran.   
      
   There are plenty of other words in there, such as 'loans' and 'gaol'.
