Link Only: Leaping dolphin leaves woman seriously injured

[DaveLoneRanger]

Holy cow, first it was stingrays, and now dolphins? The octupi can't be far behind.

[Lokibob]

Holy mackerel, bet the dolphin did that just for the halibut.

[irishtenor]

Nope, he did it on porpoise

[doug from upland]

FROM THE STORY:

The spokesman said the call-out was a first for the Auckland rescue helicopter.

"I've never heard of a dolphin hitting someone on a boat. You can't even catch them on lures when you go gamefishing. They're too smart."

==== if that guy is trying to catch them, the dolphin should have hit that SOB.

[Tainan]

All I gotta say...."Tastes like chicken"...

(these are dolphin...not a porpoise, or how ever you spell that 'Flipper' thing)

[Lawgvr1955]

Dolphin is angry and violent, getting back at humans who enjoy Weemsco Tuna (ala Rush).

[DaveLoneRanger]

This is the second sea-bearing hit-and-run incident that I know of.

Australian fisherman survives stingray attack

The stingray just leapt into the boat and attacked.

I think I saw this commercial. Vonage wasn't it?

[StarCMC]

ROFLMBO!! I had that music running thru my head as I read this.

All kidding aside, I hope the lady recovers ~ what a freaky thing.

My Barracuda was in the shop, so... I was in rented StingRay and it was overheating.
So I pulled into a Shell station, they said I'd blown a seal
I said "Fix the damn thing and leave my private life out of it, ok pal??"

[NicknamedBob]

Details missing.

Was she a lawyer?

This is all of our faults. The dolphin was only expressing his rage at how his people have been treated. For too long, they have been forced to perform tricks in swimming pools, and paid in nothing but fish. And remember the stereotypes in the show Flipper. That dolphin confirmed all of the stereotypes; always cheerful and clowning, waiting to do the bidding of Buddy and Doug, their every whim. Why, to us he was known as "Flipper," but to dolphins he was always referred to contemptuously as "Eee-eee-eee-e-e-e-e-e". He had no self-respect, no dignity, and he brought all his people down as a result. Well, no more. That woman disrespected Ak-ek-ak-woooooo-wooooooo-weeeoooo, talking to him in a condescending tone of voice, saying "Hey, there, fella. Want some of my tuna sandwich?" Patronized in this fashion, after millenia of abuse, Ak-ek-ak-woooooo-wooooooo-weeeoooo finally struck a blow for dolphin-kind. Watch out, all you two-legged reeeeeeee-reeeee-roooo-awrooo-rars! Dolphins are demanding their rightful place.

[Lokibob]

Whale, he perched on her good. Eel be sorry, I'm sure. Bet she is hurting TUNAite. He probably was CLOWNING around.

[irishtenor]

Just kelp clam, nothing to sea. I reel-y don't know what to Mako it.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Caught on film!

Speaking of stingrays--here's a boy getting stung by a stingray. The adult he's with tells him to pick it up the tail:

[bootless]

[Cheburashka]

Holy cow, first it was stingrays, and now dolphins? The octupi can't be far behind.

Keep your hand out if the goldfish bowl.

Obviously the poor dolphin needs a marine optometrist...really, really badly!

[Slings and Arrows]

Could it have been domestic abuse?

[pandoraou812]

Shes lucky it wasn't that giant squid that was just caught and was about 110 pounds and 11.5 feet long didn't jump out at her.

[Cheapskate]

My tuna doesen't taste like it used to!!!!

[Lokibob]

You reminded me of something:
While in the military, I requested a replacement thermometer for one that had been broken. Trying to be funny, in the place where you had to justify the replacement, instead of saying "broken" I said "Tuna in mercury". Apparently that was acceptable, because they replaced it.

[pa_dweller]

Another instance of reefer madness. The cetacean had obviously tide one on.

[bmwcyle]

Has any one checked the Lobsters in Maine?

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Ms James, 27, of Pukekohe, was in a serious but stable condition in Auckland City Hospital yesterday. Since later news reports seem to indicate she will be OK (prayers up)....

Well, ALRIGHTY, THEN...


Holy cow, first it was stingrays, and now dolphins?

Court rules whales, dolphins can't sue Bush...The world's whales, porpoises and dolphins have no standing to sue President George W Bush

[mc5cents]

There are dolphin and there are dolphin. One you eat, Mahi Mahi, and one you play with.

Eat this one.

You can swim and play with this one.

[MotleyGirl70]

Was there a marine biologist in the area?

[Enterprise]

Wow! A seacow! Now does that mean that those who eat fish but not beef can now start eating something if it is labeled as a seacow?

[Lady Jag]

Just who is the dolphin working for?

[Tainan]

Now thats Funny!

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Seacow? Chicken of the Sea? Mountain Oysters? Tofurkey?

I'm SO confused.

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Just who is the dolphin working for?

The Weather Undergroundwater. Shhhhhhh.

[Rennes Templar]

The real question here is, was this done on porpoise?

And a Merry Christmas to you too! Watch for a special pun thread soon!

[this_ol_patriot]

Thought I hooked the big one but he was just a lousy Bass turd.
