Skeleton Tea Party Found by Snorkler

CIENEGA SPRINGS, Ariz. (AP) — A man snorkeling in the Colorado River near the Arizona and California border was terrified — and later embarrassed — when he came across two fake skeletons sitting in lawn chairs about 40 feet underwater.

The man reported the skeletons to the La Paz County Sheriff's Office on Monday, launching a hunt for what authorities believed could be real bodies.

It turned out the skeletons were fake and had been strategically placed to appear as if they were sitting together, their lawn chairs bound to large rocks. A diver from the Buckskin Fire Department captured the scene on a video camera attached to his head. The sheriff's office called the scene a tea party.

The skeletons are wearing sunglasses, and one is holding a sign that includes the words "Bernie" and "dream in the river," although the entire sign is not legible. The sign also has the date of Aug. 16, 2014, which is possibly when the skeletons were placed there.

1. HA. I love good jokes.

My brother was a constant practical joker. He died and we cleaned his house.

Before getting ill (or perhaps during) he hid a plastic skeleton, dressed in old clothes, partially concealed under the floorboards of the outside garage -- looked like someone had been buried there.

Scared the crap out of my wife.

One last good joke from beyond the grave.
