I wonder if they will re-instate the ban if humans are found floating on the water next week?

Hundreds of dead fish and no definite cause discovered (yet)?

I don't think I'll be swimming there anytime soon.

It was a fish disease!(LOL) Sure. They all happened to drop dead at the same time.

Ohio EPA! The same fellows that bring you E- check! Phosphorus levels high!(Actually, that sounds like fertilizer runoff, which causes algal blooms and oxygen depletion.)

We don't know what killed the fish, but we are sure it's safe to swim!

(Sounds a bit like Chief Brody's dilemma from 'Jaws'. Keep those beaches open! You might not die.)

Fish kills are somewhat common, and usually you get thousands dead at the same time. It's good to be cautious, but if they say there are no chemical causes for the kill, then you have nothing to worry about.

Fish get diseases and die all the time.

I've noticed more than usual amounts of airplane vapor trails in the sky lately. It's probably BUSH_A_$$ and CHENEY_DICK's flying over spraying their mind control chemicals again. D#mn them and the Republicans.
