Stupid human tricks

Just imagine; you're out fishing off the Florida coast. It's a beautiful day to be out on the water, and you're catching all kinds of fish. Suddenly, you catch something unusual- a human head. Well, what to do?? If you're this bozo, you put the head in a bag, stick it in a bucket, and continue fishing. Say what???

FORT PIERCE, Fla. — A Fort Pierce man out fishing with his son and a friend made a gruesome discovery in the waters of the Atlantic — a human head.

Paul Trabulsy found the dismembered body part Friday, Aug. 23, about 22 miles east of Fort Pierce Inlet.

The men used a gaff to fish the head out of the water and placed it in a garbage bag. Then they kept right on fishing.


"We didn't want to come in right away, so we just put it in a bag in a bucket. It'd been out there awhile. What's a couple of hours?" said Trabulsy, 41, a certified public accountant.

The men docked and reported their discovery to the authorities about five hours later.

Trabulsy revealed to ESPNOutdoors.com by phone Tuesday that he's received several "what we're you thinking" comments from friends and acquaintances in regard to the anglers' decision to keep on fishing after discovering the head.

"We were 22 miles out, so we decided we could either run in and ruin a perfectly good day or we could fish our way in," Trabulsy said. "It didn't bother us. I was fishing with my son, who works at a funeral home here, and a friend, who was a medic in the Army."

"Now, had it been a freshly severed head, it would have been a different story," said Trabulsy, noting he would have motored in quickly in that case. "But this had been out there for who knows how long."

I wonder what the limit on severed human body parts is?

Man, I just hate it when dismembered bodies get in the way of my fishing. What a hell of a way to ruin a perfectly good day on the water....
