I get a little suspicious of the accuracy of a story from a TV station in Cincinnati, Ohio, whose source is a story from a New Zealand newspaper, about something that happened to a Canadian tourist in the Turks and Caicos islands in the Caribbean. Truly a globe spanning story.
EDIT: Going to the New Zealand Herald, their story just seems to be a copy of the story in the Daily Telegraph of London, England, written by one of their U.S. correspondents. That is at least a British territory, so it sort of works. Information seems largely the same as in the Turks and Caicos Weekly, so maybe the story is accurate.
So I heard from Joe's best friend's brother-in-law that Bill lost $600 in a one handed chainsaw competition...
Thank you Simone.
