Tuna drags scuba diver into the deep
By Evelyn Macairan (The Philippine Star) Updated October 26, 2010 12:00 AM
MANILA, Philippines - A scuba diver was injured when a tuna dragged him 300 feet underwater in Kiamba, Sarangani, according to the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG).
The diver, Ramir Te, was on a fishing expedition at around 5:45 p.m. last Saturday when a tuna pulled him underwater. -- funny statement. wonder where he was when the tuna pulled him underwater? the beach?
PCG spokesman Lieutenant Commander Arman Balilo said they were still figuring out how it happened.
Te was transported by a helicopter of the Philippine Air Force to Cagayan de Oro the following day and was given medical attention. He is bound for Cebu today on board a commercial ship.

Of course I'm still laughing! They don't mash tuna whole and put it in a can...

There is nothing funny about consuming the mashed genitalia of an expired diver.
At least, not that I can see.
And thanks to CODMAN and others like him, I will no longer be able to open a can of tuna without a fair degree of trepidation.
I might even have to pull back the lid and peek before opening it fully.

Only cod eat genitals... ergo it's called a "cod piece".
I guess this will teach him to try to dance to that tuna.
I also hope he fully recovers. But the weirdness of this is off the, uh, scale.

I know: I have read your posts!
I'm wondering if he also needed to be disinfected, assuming that somewhere along the way, a Warhammer Maneuver was invoked?

A couple of years ago, we had a free diver shoot a Jew Fish down in Miami. Unfortunately for him, he had his gun strapped to his wrist. The Jew Fish ducked under a coral reef with the diver and he perished.
