Whats that below his chin? looks like he has swallowed part of a chain. This guy really needs some H&S training.

That'll teach his mum to call her kids names like 'Moby Dick' and 'Free Willy'!

Free willy got off lightly, but Dick has now got an arrow in his head....sounds about right!

Wow lucky break, except for his eye ! And its a lousy harpoon then, a fish can wriggle of that, there is no barb! (Lucky for him too)

When I had a spear gun years ago they 'always' had barbs on the spear so the fish cant get off the line!!

If we could ban stupidity, all world issues would be solved.

The lack of brain trauma indicates a lack of brain matter. A logical answer to cleaning a loaded speargun.

reminds of a quote by Noel Coward went something like this: Blew his brains out did you say? he must have been a rather good shot.
