Okay, so I had to close Firefox (with all those tabs open!!!) and re-launch it, but now I can post for your thrill and amazement an e-mail - with the all-important pictures - that my buddy Jim sent me (and probably a battalion of other people). Anyway, the story's hard to believe, but the photos seem to support it:
A guy who lives at Lake Conroe (50 miles north of Houston) saw a ball bouncing around kind of strange in the lake and went to investigate.
It turned out to be a flathead catfish who had obviously tried to swallow a basketball which became stuck in its mouth!!
The fish was totally exhausted from trying to dive, but unable to because the ball would always bring him back up to the surface. The guy tried numerous times to get the ball out, but was unsuccessful. He finally had his wife cut the ball in order to deflate it and release the hungry catfish.
You probably wouldn't have believed this, if you hadn't seen the following pictures...
Be kinder than necessary. Everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle..
Okay, there is the chance that this story is a fake, but the last statement is certainly true.
