What did the Loch Ness say upon that Wed-ness-day? He said, “Scotlanders, beware, I’m coming up for air.” And as the water parted and rolled briskly off his back, Emily Blue, age 92, had a heart attack. And while all the other tourists cried, “Run, for Goodness’ sake!” Her soul at rest, she clutched her chest, and fell into the lake. And though I know you think it gross, her bobbing up and down, Her purpose is to surface as the Lock Ness swims around.
