"A woman who speaks 'perfect English' has been found on a rock in the sea off a Croatian island but is unable to say who she is or how she got there."

"The woman, thought to be in her sixties, was covered in cuts and bruises when she was spotted by a fisherman on the craggy outcrop on the isle of Krk. She was on her own crying.... Officials said she had no passport, papers or phone....  A resident who lives near by [said]: 'It’s weird that she was in the area at all. It is an extremely inaccessible part of the bay with terribly sharp rocks — literally razors that cut the rubber on your shoes. There is no life or animals except maybe wild boars or bears which know how to swim here in search of food, but this is a rarity because there is no food, nothing. A woman that age certainly could not swim that distance, it needs exceptional strength.'"

Krk * is a pretty well-known tourist destination. Fell overboard from a yacht or some other boat? Or survived a sinking? To my knowledge Krk island is not a cruise ship destination.

* In the Serbo-Croatian language the ‘R’ is so heavily rolled it is treated as a vowel.

Can we call her Madison? And introduce her to Tom Hanks?

Jason Bourne's protégée, obviously. I'm not gonna fall for that one again.

Alien abduction, obviously.
Check her for implants.

Perfect English? I’m skeptical!

It's just the new season of Outlander...

Another lost Uber Eats delivery.

"Perfect English" doesn't exist, unlike perfect French.

"You had a bullet from World War I in your leg, James! How did it get there?"

Dude!

That's how EVERY Squadron party ended!

Now, the only remaining questions are: was she wearing the same clothes at the time of rescue that she was wearing at the beginning of the evening? And were Dutch and Italian pilots involved in planning the party?

Kevin said...

Yes, but what are her pronouns?

The schizophrenic voices are apparently quite compelling.

Her English is too good, he said,
Which clearly indicates that she is foreign.
Whereas others are instructed in their native language
English people aren't.
And although she may have studied with an expert
Dialectician and grammarian, I can tell that she was born
Hungarian! Not only Hungarian, but of royal blood,
she is a princess!

Big Mike said...

Has anybody figured out yet who she is and what happened?

Tomcc said...

Strange circumstances. I hope someone recognizes her from the photo.

This is the "Girl Jason Bourne" reboot. Won't be as good as the original.

Joe Smith said...

Mermaid. QED.

BUMBLE BEE said...

Aha! And the one armed man?

madAsHell said...

She has recently colored her hair.

The French call it "well punished French."

At first I read that as "Croatan island" and thought, "Finally, the Lost Colony mystery is solved!"

Big Mike said...

Maybe not perfect English. The latest reports claim that she has a Scottish accent.

Tomcc said...

And now she's been identified. Worked in the states and became homeless. Most unfortunate.
