Bob Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I'm not typically a cut and paster but thought this story, in today's Nation, was worthy of unusual human stupidity. Chon Buri - Two men were killed and another severely injured while they were illegally blasting fish near the Samersarn Islands off Chon Buri's coast. Police said the group was illegally fishing by blasting fish habitat near the Rongkhon Island off Chon Buri's Sattahip district Thursday morning when a bomb exploded on their boat. The bomb sunk the boat and killing two men abroad while injuring another. The injured man and the dead bodies were later retrieved by other fishing boats. All of them were Thais. Earlier, the accident was reported by a traffic radio programme that having happened to a boat charted by foreign tourists. The report said two foreign tourists were killed and another injured. The Nation This reminds me of the joke about the conservation officer seeing a fisherman taking fish by similar method (dynamite). The officer jumped in the offender's boat and told him he was under arrest for illegal fishing and then began lecturing the guy about the evils of illegal fishing.. The fisherman calmly listened, picked up and lit another stick of dynamite, quickly handed it to the officer, and then said: "Are you going to continue jabbering or are you going to fish?!?"
