LOCH NESS, SCOTLAND-- Residents of the small village here were shocked early this morning when the massive dinosaur-like body of the long thought to be mythical creature was discovered beached on the shore of the famed loch.
"Och, it's juoost tearabble," croaked Stan McDan of the Tavindish clan. "the perr beastie. We woulda been more kerfil, ya know, had we realized."
While the cause of death is still under investigation, preliminary reports indicate the famed monster may have choked on a golf ball hit into the loch.
"For such a large animal it had a very slender neck," said a veterinary tech on the investigative team, unidentified because they were not authorized to comment. "It's possible Nessie thought it was a mushroom and tried to swallow it."
In a traditional gesture of mourning, black arm bands are being worn by the locals. A memorial service is planned.
It is unknown if the Loch Ness Monster is survived by any relatives.

Hm, you may be right about it being good for April Fool's Day, Hermione, but the thing about people driving golf balls into the loch really bugged me. I tend to wish people had more respect for natural and/or historic places.
Ms. Betty
So, Ms Betty, would you subject the recalcitrant golfers to a healthy dose of a Lochlelly Scottish tawse? It would do wonders in your hands.
