Fish story


(Official cutline) This strange sight greeted visitors to Lake Ruby beside Georgia Southern University's Lakeside Cafe Friday afternoon. According to witnesses, the two fish washed up Friday, apparently after one of the similarly-sized bass (perhaps celebrating Lent) decided to eat the other - and failed. According to a university official, neither fish was enrolled at GSU.

(Non-official cutline) There's been a debate at the office as to whether this is real. We heard about the fish from a phone call, and it's not beyond the realm of possibility that some prankster stuck the fish together and called us. I think it's authentic, though, and Eddie agrees with me, so that makes it right.

The "GSU official" listed in the cutline is an incredulous Mike Sullivan, who also assured me that the fish in question weren't students because they couldn't pass GSU's stringent SAT requirements.
