Porpoises rescue Dick Van Dyke

Van Dyke's ordeal began during an ill-fated trip to his local beach. "I woke up out of sight of land," the 84-year-old actor told reporters. "I started paddling with the swells and I started seeing fins swimming around me and I thought 'I'm dead!'"

Van Dyke was wrong. "They turned out to be porpoises," he said. "And they pushed me all the way to shore." The porpoises were unavailable for comment.

Porpoises have rescued other humans throughout time. This isn't a first, but is heartwarming.

It was like every week he would trip over it. I wonder if he had a big life insurance policy.

I wonder if it was an accident, or if those porpoises (wait for it) did it on purpose. :rimshot:
