CANOERS FIND LOST PROSTHETIC LEG IN A BEAVER DAM

Mark Warner, 49, of Green Bay lost his prosthetic leg on a fishing trip when his canoe flipped over on Range Line Lake. He managed to salvage his fishing gear and cooler, but the prosthetic leg was lost. Warner wasn’t too worried about it because it was his older model prosthetic that he uses for fishing and hunting. About three weeks later – last Thursday, actually – Elliot Fuller and his friend Jason Franklin were canoeing down a creek when they saw a leg sticking out of a beaver dam. “I was sure we had found a dead body that someone dumped into the creek,” Fuller said. But when they got a closer look, it was a prosthetic leg. The two men went online and found that someone had posted on Craigslist 20 days ago looking for a lost prosthetic leg. That someone was Mark Warner, who was reconnected with his fake leg. Fuller and Franklin found it in the dam about three miles from where Warner had lost it.
* Losing a prosthetic leg to a beaver. Not exactly “The Revenant”, but there you go.
* I knew beavers built their dams using limbs, but not like this.
* Notice his priority was to save the beer cooler.
* Of course, that was probably the thing that floated.
* That leg had legs.
* Meanwhile, the beaver got home and thought, “Damn! It walked away!”
* I guess it’s better than losing your leg to a shark.
* Maybe that’s how he lost his real one.
* Wow, you have separate prosthetic legs for different activities? Life is just too damn complicated anymore.
* Meanwhile the poor beaver was thinking, “I think I’ll stick this out of the top of the dam. It just looks cool.”
