Authorities have not yet released the man's identity

How many 500# men can there be in Wisconsin?

I'd wager his first name is Bob.

I wish it was this guy



We could have left him in the river and let him drown...

Authorities said the man's weight was a mitigating factor in his delayed rescue.

Wouldn't a mitigating factor make his rescue easier?

Have you no heart? Think of how the pollution and the oil slick would affect the poor fish!

He’s a pig. [My apologies to any genuine pigs who may take offense.] Why, oh, why, doesn’t he shave that nasty imitation of a beard off of his face? [My answer: ‘Cause then he really will look like a pig.]
