Since When Did Nutria Start Wearing Snorkles?

Oh wait, it was actually a person snorkeling. You know, probably about a 5' 10" dude, with flippers, and a snorkel sticking out of the water. As opposed to say, a two foot long, sometimes aquatic rodent.

In case you were too busy reliving Anna Nicole's glory days with Guess?, some guy down in Reedsport, OR just shot some other guy in the head while he was snorkeling in the Smith River. Now, why you'd be snorkeling in the Smith River, we may never know unless, hopefully, that guy comes to (he's in critical condition at Oregon Health Sciences University Hospital). But, we're pretty sure that rodents don't require swimming masks and one might notice that before letting loose a few rounds.

There's definitely a "You know you're a redneck when..." joke hiding in there somewhere.
