Could I Have My Leg Back Please?
Some fishemen caught a shark and figured they'd have a bit of fun. So they stuck a wooden leg in the shark's mouth and took some pictures. That's when the trouble started.
Fishermen were on the Georges Bank, near the U.S. border, on Sunday morning when they caught a shark. They thought it would be funny to stick a fake leg in the shark's mouth and take pictures.
Problem was, fishermen on a nearby vessel took it seriously, and called the Canadian Coast Guard. Then the coast guard called the Mounties. That's when the prank really got out of hand.
"It's kind of an expensive hoax," Const. Joe Taplin, an RCMP spokesman, said Sunday.
"You've got the RCMP on this side (of the border) getting ready and calling in extra personnel to take possession of this, as well as U.S. authorities were aware that it was possibly a human leg," he said.
Actually, it would be the fault of the people who reported it without bothering to ask the jokers what they were doing. Just one question: what in heck were they doing with a spare wooden leg?

You mean like those Nosy Parkers that reported the Flying Imams?
Words you’ll never hear the QM speak? “Excuse me, are you selling crack or do you just like a stout door?”"I’m sorry, robbery is not allowed here…could you move along?”
