How did that get there? Last evening there was a dead fish, maybe 12 inches long, on my lawn. The nearest water is a river a half mile away. How'd it get there?
Have you pissed off any Sicilians lately?

Eponysterical.

Was it raining cats and fishes where you are?

The how is easy, someone threw a fish on your lawn. The why is the hard part.

Some friends of mine once ran over a fish. They were driving behind a truck towing a bass-boat and a fish jumped out of the live well and into their path; oops.

Let's use Occam's Razor and just go for the simplest explanation, which is that quonsar happened to be on your lawn while he was swapping out a fresh one. Enough of these wild flights of fancy I say, get your heads out of the clouds.

It's obviously a message from the vitamin deficiency department. Bon appetit.

You should totally put an ad in your local paper's lost and found section. You may just find the rightful owner.

Not to put a damper on the fun, but I'm voting bird of prey. Now a very, very sad bird of prey.

Sam The American Eagle? He always looked saddened by the world around him on The Muppet Show.

Across the road from the mechanic's shop we use is an undeveloped field. Last time we were there, I glanced out the window just in time to see an eagle glide down and pick up, um, something. My fella reasonably assumed it was a small squirrel or big mouse, though I was sure I'd seen a fish silhouetted against the sky.

But where would the fish have come from?

The mechanic came in at the tail end of this conversation and chuckled. He enjoyed occasional visits from the eagle, who nested nearby, so every once in a while, he pulled a fish out of the freezer, thawed it, and tossed it in the field to lure the eagle down.

A link from lfr's link. Gross AND hysterical.

Not to put a damper on the fun, but it's pretty obvious a tricycle-riding boxer in yellow trunks came by in broad daylight and dumped the fish out of his glove and onto your lawn. Looking out the window, you asked him to see the fish, he replied "this isn't the fish you're looking for...Dinner is a coupon." just before he pedaled off into the clouds.

Now you remember...
