The Sunday Star-Bulletin Advertiser Honolulu, October 12, 1986 C-7 This Prankster Bit Off a Little More Than, His Shark Could Chew Associated Press ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. When they arrived at the dock to find a crowd had gathered, Glenn Parsons knew his prank had gotten out of hand, so to speak. The crowd had come to see the "hand," still wearing a digital watch, that Parsons and his companions had supposedly found inside the belly of a shark. "Then the police pulled up, and I just said, 'Oh Parsons said.

"Looking back now, I wish I had said something then," he said. "But I just froze." they had found inside the shark. Irvin and his sons hurried back to shore. By the time the Parsons party reached the dock, a crowd had gathered, followed by police. "At that point I had already lost control over the whole thing," Parsons said.

He confessed the next day when he learned that investigators were taking the watch to a Tampa woman whose husband had oeen missing since his boat capsized off Anclote Key the week before. Officials weren't amused, estimating it cost about $1,250 to investigate. Prosecutors studied the case, but found no grounds to file charges. The find made headlines and launched an investigation. But the "hand" was really a skinned alligator foot that Parsons, a 32-year-old graduate student in marine science, had placed inside a shark as a practical joke on a colleague during their shark-fishing search outing.

i When no one was looking, Parsons slipped the "hand" inside the belly of a 5Vi-foot black-tip shark. When fisherman John Irvin and his two sons stopped by, one of Parsons' companions, who was in on the joke, held up the alligator foot and told the fishermen it was a human hand WHIRL 0L 11 JJTm i. iff 1 111 1 I I I i I 9m Wm tik i Flu it it i i i si ii if i JI I If I JW i 4 wm ii i I -M 't- 9 oar MM 1 ni n.
