A surfer in Australia was airlifted to hospital Monday after a dolphin slammed into him as he was riding a wave at a remote beach.

The 27-year-old man was on his body board, or boogie board, at Bawley Point, 250 kilometres (155 miles) south of Sydney, when the collision occurred.

Right of way signs ... yield signs necessary. Sounds like government intervention is required to save thousands of lives and serious injury.

“The force has been enough to tear the patient’s wetsuit.”

I was riding my cycle down Highway 3 when a dolphin leaped out of a Mustang convertible and slammed into my pelvic area. I had a wetsuit then, and it was torn, too.

Dolphins are BIG fish!

They're not fish. They're mammals. They breast feed.

Oops, I shouldn't let any freepers know about that. They think it's bad.

I figured you did. I call them fish too. But it’s St. Paddy’s day and I wanted to tweak the freepers who hate anything to do with breastfeeding. LOL

Interesting, everything I type the word freepers the autocorrect changes it to freezers or creepers.
