Anyway, this was in Norway, and the pier (jetty?) is only used by people fishing, if anything. It's next to a dive center, so they should know that bubbles aren't made by farting fish.

I've had my share of encounters with fish hooks, but none of them have taken my mask.
A friend of mine got hooked in the nose. Luckily the hook only got stuck in the mask, and not in the face :-O
