Fishy Story

Unlikely at best:

An Australian woman claims the nose stud she lost in the sea later turned up inside a fish caught by her fiance.

Kristy Brittain says she lost the stud in a fall while kneeboarding behind a speedboat off Tasmania...

Mr Triffett and his friend Tim Hall were fishing in roughly the same area where the stud was lost. When filleting one flathead they found a tiny nail-like object inside. "They thought it was a little tack or nail," Miss Brittain said. "I was standing near them talking to them and realised it was the nose stud I had lost in the ocean.

"How could it have ended in the fish? I suppose it would have sparkled and they eat pretty much anything. But you think how many fish are in the sea... and to catch this one."

Indeed. And when I apply Occam's Razor to your story, the resulting fillet is shaped a lot like an attention whore.
