That Smarts

When speeding along on your waverunner, if you come to a bridge, duck:

A man riding a personal watercraft was decapitated in an accident near Fort Myers Beach Sunday evening, according to Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission.

Roy Brown’s body was found in Matanzas Pass around 9:30 p.m.
...
It’s believed the accident happened around 8:30 Sunday evening, but the FWC has not located the accident scene. They say Brown may have hit a low-lying bridge during high tide.

The body may have been found, but they're still looking for "Bob."

"Matanza" means "slaughter" in Espanol.

I understand. I always go Googling when I'm prostrate with grief too.

Heh. Reminds me of a cute grafitti I saw when tooliing around in a farming area on my motorcycle a several years ago. On a low bridge over an irrigation canal, someone had painted a cartoon of a duck, and written, "Low bridge -- d
Duck, or quack head!"

"That was my cousin who was killed in such a terrible way"

So? Being your cousin doesn't excuse the fact that they were (obviously) dumber than a bag of rocks.
