Wasn't there something a few months back about a kid who died when he choked on like a frog or something? Man dies in Palatka with a 4-inch fish stuck in his mouth http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/custom/fringe/sfl-1021fishdeath,0,46278.story?coll=sfla-news-fringe Associated Press October 21, 2003, 9:47 AM EDT PALATKA -- A man died with a 4-inch fish in his mouth in what police said may have been an attempt to imitate a television stunt. Henry Thomas Buckner, 27, of Middleburg, was fishing with his stepfather, Paul Beasley, 47, and two friends on the Ocklawaha River on Sunday when they noticed Buckner bleeding from the mouth, a Putnam County sheriff's report said. Beasley said a fish was sticking out of Buckner's mouth, according to the report. ``No one saw him put the fish in his mouth,'' said Capt. Keith Riddick of the Putnam sheriff's office. ``They heard gurgling, turned toward him and saw him bleeding from the mouth and the fish sticking out.'' Riddick said the fish was a 4-inich bream. Beasley and the others were unable to pull the fish out of Buckner's mouth, so they drove the boat to shore and started driving him to Putnam Community Medical Center, the report showed. Beasley called 911, then pulled into a convenience store. Buckner was transported to a hospital, where he died. ``There are unconfirmed reports that he (Buckner) was trying to imitate something he had seen on a TV show in the latter part of last week,'' Riddick said. An autopsy was performed Monday, the results of which are pending further tests, Riddick said. Palatka is about 80 miles north of Orlando. RIP fishmonger.
Here is another gem: This is from a radio program, a true report of an incident in Wisconsin: A guy buys a brand new Lincoln Navigator truck for $42,500 and has $560 monthly payments. He and a friend go duck hunting in winter, and of course all the lakes are frozen. These two guys go out on the lake with their guns, a dog, and of course the new vehicle. They drive out onto the lake ice and get ready. Now, they want to make some kind of a natural landing area for the ducks, something for the decoys to float on. In order to make a hole large enough to look like something a wandering duck would fly down and land on , it's going to take a little more effort than an ice hole drill. So, out of the back of the new Navigator truck comes a stick of dynamite with a short 40 second fuse. Now, these two Rocket Scientists do take into consideration that they want to place the stick of dynamite on the ice at a location far from where they, and the new Navigator truck), are standing. They don't want to take the risk of slipping on the ice when they run from the burning fuse and possibly go up in smoke with the resulting blast. They light the 40 second fuse and throw the dynamite. Remember a couple of paragraphs back when I mentioned the vehicle, the guns, and the dog?? Let's talk about the dog: A highly trained Black Lab used for RETRIEVING. Especially things thrown by the owner. You guessed it, the dog takes off at a high rate of doggy speed on the ice and captures the stick of dynamite with the burning 40 second fuse about the time it hits the ice. The two men yell, scream, wave their arms and wonder what to do now. The dog, cheered on, keeps coming. One of the guys grabs the shotgun and shoots the dog. The shotgun is loaded with #8 buckshot, hardly big enough to stop a Black Lab. The dog stops for a moment, slightly confused, but continues on. Another shot and this time the dog, still standing, becomes really confused and of course terrified, thinking these two geniuses have gone insane. The dog takes off to find cover, under the brand new Navigator truck. The men continue to yell as they run. The exhaust pipe on the truck is still hot, so the dog yelps and drops the dynamite under the truck, and takes off after his master. Then --BOOM-- the truck is blown to bits and sinks to the bottom of the lake in a very large hole, leaving the two idiots standing there with this "I can't believe this happened" look on their faces. The insurance company says that sinking a vehicle in a lake by illegal use of explosives is not COVERED. He still had yet to make the first of those $560.00 a month payments!!!
I kinda thought it was fake. It was emailed to me yesterday and I never checked it on snopes. Thanks HEAD!!!
