A woman walking a Florida beach thought she had come across a decapitated body.
Thankfully, it just turned out to be the type of figure you’d see showing off clothing from a store window.
The headless mannequin spotted on Perdido Key near A volunteer for an environmental nonprofit in Florida discovered what she thought was a dead body while cleaning up a beach in the state — but the corpse turned out to just be a store mannequin.
Ocean Hour, a Florida based nonprofit that organizes beach cleanups across the state, shared news of what happened on Facebook on Monday.
The group said a volunteer named Kathleen was working to clean up a beach on Perdido Key in the Florida Panhandle when she saw what she believed to be a decapitated body.
"Another visitor had even called 911," Ocean Hour said on Facebook. "Upon further investigating, she realized it was a mannequin!"
The mannequin was covered in barnacles, so it was difficult to tell what it was at first glance.
But a closer look shows a plastic foot and hole where the mannequin's head would be.
"How long has she been out in the water collecting barnacles and sealife? Way too long!" the organization said. "We are glad it wasn't a real body!"
A stunning recreation of the mannequin.
Sure it was not Al Gore?
“OH, THE HUMANITY...!!”
Barnacle Bill
911 call
Police: Ma’am, is it a man or a woman?
Woman: I can’t tell!
Florida=YUGE manatee. 😂🙌
That has been floating for a while - a real corpse would have been long gone.
You win!
Bet there were a lot of disappointed sharks.
Could it be? Could that be the sex doll that went missing from my house six months ago?
Ummm. It belong to my roommate. Actually it did. Wasn’t mine. Nope.
Use Odoreaters so the barnacles will latch onto your foot.
I’m not sure, but it looks suspiciously like a COVID-19 death . . .
Is that Mike Barnicle?
Hmmmmm, better still check if the mannequin was acquainted in any way with the Hillabeast.
There is a piece of happy news here; that somebody this fricken stupid was not being paid by the government to be there...
Wonder if this is all to generate press attention for an ebay auction of this “newsworthy” find.
Found object d’art
Hahaha...I love that Far Side one which I am sure you were referencing...
Interesting angle. I wouldn’t put it past them... such a thing could pass for modern art among certain elements of the hoity-toity these days.
Does its vote for Biden still count?
