Here's a fishy story

Employees of a Pennsylvania pet store expecting a shipment of tropical fish and salt water received a man's dead body instead.

Mark Arabia owns the Pets Plus store in northeast Philadelphia, where the mix-up was discovered Tuesday. He said he learned the body was that of a 65-year-old San Diego-area man who died of early onset Alzheimer's disease.

The deceased man's wife said she was shocked initially, but found the former mailman's posthumous postal mix-up funny.

The body was supposed to go to a research laboratory in Allentown, 70 miles away.

The fish were left at the airport and probably died.
