Nantucket Shark Mystery

From The Boston Globe:

A dead shark was found lying in front of the Sea Dog Brew Pub in Nantucket this morning and removed by the Department of Public Works.

The Department of Public Works assures is this is not a common occurrence:

“It’s not too often we find sharks on land like that,” said John Braginton-Smith, a foreman for the department.

He offers a theory:

“In summertime, someone can get one too many beers in them and think that’s amusing,” he said.
