Sharp as a Marble - Part 2



This is Kasey Edwards.  He had a small mishap while swimming near lake Okeechobee at 2am the other night.  You can see from the picture that he is missing a small item, namely his entire left arm.  Here are a few quotes from the Orlando news story that might give you a hint where his arm might be:


He decided to swim across a deep canal at about 2 o'clock in the morning.
(Ok, this might be reasonable.)


Edwards says no drugs were involved, but admits he was drinking earlier.  However, it played no role in his decision to jump in the water. (Alcohol related to making bad decisions?  Nah.)


Edwards admits he knew it was infested with gators because his cousin is a gator trapper.
(What?  Oh, now I see the reason for the drug and alcohol question.)


He escaped the 11-foot Alligator by gouging his eye.
(Do you think he might get in trouble for injuring a protected species?)







Here is the bast part.  He compares his incident to the risks drivers take on highways.  Huh?  Then, he blames the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission for not properly controlling the alligator population.

This is from his interview:

I'm not saying it's completely the gators fault.  I should have equated the situation a little more.  I didn't, you know?

Ya think?

Unfortunately, since he did survive to reproduce, he has forfeited his Darwin Award nomination.  Too bad, he might have had a shot there.

Maybe next time Kasey!
