TRUE STORY:
"Response to a wildfire on the south of France's Cote d'Azur was billed as a
marvel of modern of modern fire-fighting technology. Two specially-built
flying boats zoomed in, skimmed the waters of the Mediterranean, scooping vast
amounts of water into their belly tanks, and then dropped the water on the
hillside fire. All was jolly and the wine flowed freely until a body was found
in the ashes.
"The coroner found that the gentleman had apparently fallen from a great
height, suffering serious injuries before being burned to death. The report
further noted that the victim was wearing a bathing suit, snorkel, and swim
fins."
