Floridians Lay Claim To Having Thought Of Dead Sharks On Trains First

I thought it was weird enough when I heard about the dead shark on the NYC train. Some people thought it funny, and some people got kind of mad. Apparently, at least one person from Miami got mad too, though not for the reason you think. This person got their knickers in a twist because Miami apparently did this first:

Just check out this article I found. Apparently, the writer got miffed when people kept saying that a dead shark on a train was something that could only happen in New York. He was quick to point out that this very same thing had happened in Miami about four years ago. That’s right, Miami was the ‘dead shark on a train’ pioneer.

Personally, I wouldn’t think this was the sort of thing that one would be in a particular race to claim. Besides the fact, everyone knows that Miami is a strange, strange place. There is no need to prove this to anyone.

In any event, this surprised me a little. I just thought I’d bring it to everyone’s attention. I wouldn’t want anyone getting the mistaken impression that NYC was first in dead sharks on trains.
