Nothing wrong with that, now is there? That's just a consequence of free market activity. That should make Jimmy Swaggart happy anyway.

Fishing Boat Nets Vintage Catch Friday May 26 1:09 PM ET PARIS (Reuters) - Bubbles have risen from the depths of the Atlantic, bringing a lot of sparkle to a French trawler. Fishing off France's northern Brittany coast, skipper Tristan Gouzien was stunned to see his nets emerge from the ocean floor stuffed with around 900 bottles of vintage champagne. ``We were hauling up our second net when one of the crew shouted 'Champagne!' I thought we had got a good catch. How could I have imagined he meant real bottles of champagne,'' Gouzien told the daily Le Telegramme in Brest. The champagne was famed Veuve Cliquot bubbly, dated 1978, 1979 and 1984. In all, Gouzien's crew hauled up crates containing around 2,000 bottles, but only some 900 were intact. The sailors immediately cracked open a few. ``No one has gotten ill yet,'' Gouzien said. News of the catch 250 nautical miles off the Brittany coast early Wednesday soon spread and customs staff members were waiting at the port of Le Gulvinec when the boat returned. The champagne was impounded and if the original owner does not come forward in the next 90 days, the bottles will be auctioned. The crew will get a cut of the proceeds. Fishing in Europe appears to be better than Minnesota! o~~~ O
