From here:
Said the sturgeon: “Who’s endangered now?!”
Irony would have been if her ovaries were damaged and needed removing (not that I’d wish such harm upon her)
This is nothing new really. We’ve had a few incidents over the years of sturgeons leaping out of the river and clonking people. They get frisky, they jump, they’re big, too many people on the river during that time of the year, someone’s bound to get clobbered.
I still think your chances of getting attacked by a shark, alligator or hungry squirrel are a lot higher than those of being beaten by a sturgeon.
When I was young, I was savaged by a turbot.
“… a leaping sturgeon severely injured a 50-year-old woman from St. Petersburg … . She suffered a ruptured spleen and had three fingers reattached by surgeons…”
So, for that type of injury do you see a sturgeon surgeon?
Some days the limericks just write themselves.
Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action!
I started a similar thread about a year ago about similar events. The best reply (in my not exactly humble opinion) was this one by Sailboat. I feel like it holds up in this tread too.
And some smart alec (sp) will soon welcome caviar overlords. :rolleyes:
Sadly, Sturgeons have no champagne or crackers…
Dont let Peter Benchly find out.
