A volunteer for an environmental nonprofit was doing a cleanup on a beach in Perdido Key, Fla., when she thought she saw a dead body.
The volunteer, named Kathleen, reported the incident to Ocean Hour, the nonprofit where she was a volunteer. Kathleen told the group she believed she was looking at a decapitated body, and someone nearby apparently called 911.

That would have given me pause.

Thank you.
Plus lignum vitae and they build boats from it!
Parts anyway.
Still WRONG ANSWER.

“I admit it was a bit lame!’
Clearly any joke I can remember is even MORE lame!
Mine go right over like a lead balloon.
Natalie, although I was being literal, not cinematic. : )
It’s so you can ride the high capacity waves.
he was in the ride-share surf lane?
My wife and I were out sunning on Gulf Shores Beach and right in front of us a young man washed up on the beach just after a tropical storm, directly in front of us. I first thought is was debris washing up then as it got closer it seemed he was waving at me to come in the water...anyway in a couple minutes a big wave washed him right up not more than 20 ft from us! Wife freaked and their was some kids on the beach who came running over and I told them to get back or go home, called the cops and they and the GS Fire Dept arrived and handled it.Ruined the day and rest of the vacation. Seems he was a college kid who drown the day before trying to save a kid that got caught in a undertow.
Lead balloons also do not float.
I saw a guy drown right in front of me on the beach on a family vacation to Hawaii . Lifeguards pulled his body out of the surf and worked CPR hard while his whaling wife was urging them on. They couldn’t save him, unfortunately.
I got to watch the story on the evening TV news back at the hotel, too. Report on the news was the tourist guy couldn’t swim but decided to take a pool mat way out into the ocean to see the tropical fish. Seeing that cured me of my desire to learn to surf in Hawaii.

I hear some strange ‘music’...
Marsha White : I’m a mannequin. That’s what I am, I’m a mannequin and it was my turn to...
Saleswoman : ...Your turn to leave us for a month. Becoming much clearer now, isn’t it? You left us for a month and you lived with the outsiders. But you were due back yesterday and you didn’t show up. You know, Marsha, that’s very selfish, my dear. All of us wait our turn and we simply do not overstay it. Now, it was my turn starting last night. I’m one day delayed already.
Marsha White : Of course. Of course. I’m sorry, I forgot. When you’re on the outside, everything seems so normal. As if...
Elevator Man : As if what, Marsha?
Marsha White : As if we were like the others. Like the outsiders. Like the real people.
You’re still in morning for Natalie?
Mourning.
Regards,
Was she carrying a harpoon?
Was her name "Queequeg?"
Wailing.
Regards,
Yes! And that is my theory as to what happened here!
That it was this mannequin’s turn to live with the Outsiders for a month and he met up with this horrible misfortune before the month was up, forgetting that he was in fact a mannequin and needed to get back to the department store before his time ‘expired’. Because if you look REAL close at the sand you will see what appears to be faint footprints leading up to the spot where he was found laying. In short, totally forgetting who and what he was, he reverted back to a mannequin while walking along the beach!
His whaling wife?
