Florida Man 1

A Florida man tried to ride On a gal was exceedingly wide. He tickled her thighs, And met his demise, When that manatee rolled on her side. ---------- Actual headline: "Florida Man Arrested for Illegal Ride on Manatee" Seems like a Florida Man limerick series might be in order... (some poetic license may be taken :-)

So, are you familiar with the "Florida man ..." - some of the most outlandish stories of the news begin that way, and there are whole webpages dedicated to collecting some of the more delicious ones. There is almost always alcohol involved, and Darwin Awards often indicated. Just having a fun with a few, and, I am the Tall Tale guy, so I won't mark these as 'didactic', lol.
