A man swept out to sea by strong currents was rescued alive in southern Greece after he spent three days in the water.

The 43-year-old Greek man was found semiconscious in the sea late yesterday by holidaymakers at a beach near Aigio, 110 miles west of Athens.

His wife had declared him missing on Friday after he had failed to return from a swim at a beach 15 miles east of Aigio.

Strong winds were blowing in the area at the time and an air and sea search failed to locate him.

The man was treated in hospital for hypothermia.

Talk about defying the odds!

A woman sold her the ashes of her husband’s previous wife when she sold a ceramic turtle for 25c.

The New Yorker, is desperately searching for the woman who bought the large turtle! The woman had plans to use it as a biscuit jar.

The ‘new’ wife set up her stall for the yard sale while her husband slept. A buyer bought the large turtle container, despite being unable to open the lid. The ‘old’ wife (now on the ashes missing list) had collected turtles and the house had been full of them. Twas a case of time for the turtles to be evicted.

The ‘new’ wife is hoping that the woman will discover the ‘old’ wife and return her post haste.

Of course the woman could use the ashes instead of sugar coating on her biscuits!
