Human foot washes ashore in Vancover...again!
2011-09-01
It was Tuesday. It was warm in Vancouver. We were working the day watch out of Dismembered Human Foot Division...
The foot and leg bones found Tuesday afternoon in False Creek show no evidence of foul play, the provincial coroners service announced at a news conference Wednesday.
Whaddya think, sarge? Foul play?
Why do you say that, Muldoon?

Coroner Stephen Fonseca unveiled the pungent-smelling tennis shoe in the hopes a family member of a missing person can identify it.
Sniff...sniff...no, that's not Bob. He smelled of Brut from Fabrege. And cheap whiskey.
The foot was the eighth discovered washed up on British Columbia's southern coast in the past four years. Three more have washed up in nearby Washington state.
Am I detecting a pattern here, sarge?
Why do you say that, Muldoon?

Fonseca speculated that this rash of remains washing ashore is a result of the more buoyant shoes now being sold.
...or lots of dead bodies being thrown in the water.

#7  *blink*. Then it really is about the floaty new shoes.

#6  The previous floaters were probably Indonesian feet. These new ones are likely Japanese feet. There were significant seismic and oceanic events that preceeded both sets of arrivals.

#5  Would think they could map the currents and at least get an idea of where these are coming from.

Are they Canadian feet? American feet? Oriental feet? The world wants to know!!

#4  Look on the bright side: at least there's an even number now.

#3  The headline makes it sound like it's the same foot that keeps washing up.
Sgt. Chaudry, put that foot back in the case with the shuttergun!
