What has this to do with TBR? The Problems of Fishing.... "Four years ago, the dazed crew of a Japanese trawler were plucked out of the Sea of Japan, clinging to the wreckage of their sunken ship. Their rescue, however, was followed by imprisonment once authorities questioned the sailors on the loss of their ship. To a man, they claimed that a cow, falling out of a clear blue sky, had struck the trawler amidships, shattering its hull and sinking the vessel within minutes. They remained in prison for several weeks, until the Russian Air Force reluctantly informed Japanese authorities that the crew of one of its cargo planes had apparently stolen a cow wandering at the edge of a Siberian airfield, forced the animal into the plane's hold and hastily taken off for home. Unprepared for live cargo, the Russians were ill-equipped to manage a now rampaging bovine within its hold. To save the aircraft and themselves, they shoved the animal out of the cargo hold as they crossed the Sea of Japan at an altitude of 30,000 feet".
