Japanese girl's letter returned 15 years later ... by fish

[MavericStephenc]

TOKYO (AFP) - A letter that a young girl in Japan sent into the sky in a balloon some 15 years ago has been found on a fish hauled from 1,000 metres (3,300 feet) below the Pacific.
A fisherman found the still legible piece of paper sitting on a sticky flatfish in his catch on Thursday, along with a torn-off string and the fragment of a red balloon.
He opened the folded paper, discovering it was a handwritten letter from a six-year-old girl at an elementary school in Kawasaki, 150 kilometres (93 miles) away from where the fish was caught off Choshi port.
The sender, Natsumi Shirahige, and her friends released letters as part of events to mark the school's 120th anniversary, which was in 1993.
"Our school is 120 years old... If you pick up this letter, please write to me," the letter reads, listing the school's address.
The 52-year-old fisherman said the letter was a nice surprise.
"I've been in fishing for a long time but this is unbelievable," the smiling man told the Asahi television network.
Shirahige, now a 21-year-old university student, said: "I can't get over the wonder of how the letter survived 15 years. I never expected I'd get a reply this way."

They don't give praise to the real hero of the story...THE FISH. He hid it, in one place he knew he could hide something: his ass. 15 long years he wore this letter . . . up his ass.

What are the bets that we would've never heard this story if the fisherman found a letter from a dude.

[Andrew Bohan]

i released a balloon with a letter when i was in first grade. a farmer found it in his field the next week and sent it back to me.

that was not as cool

It was a mutated Tagruato fish with abnormal intellegence.


But I think this is a pretty good down-to-earth story in today's world of unpleasant news.
