Update on Keith Richards: Stunt Man Extraordinaire

It turns out he was a bit more hurt during his Fiji vacation than previously reported, and Mr. Richards recently underwent brain surgery to relieve a subdural hematoma, blah blah...

Whatever. He's recovering now and doing fine. What I really wanted to talk about was what I just read on People.com. Here's what People reports:

"Richards, 62, was flown to Auckland, New Zealand, for observation after sustaining a 'mild concussion' while on vacation in Fiji, said the rep. Various news reports have said that Richards fell from a coconut tree, a Jet Ski or a combination of the two."

Um..... excuse me?

Does that mean he fell from a jet ski that was balancing atop a coconut tree? Or was he riding a jet ski when the coconut tree fell, then rolled down the beach and into sea, was flung into the air by a wave, and subsequently landed on Keith Richards?

Or does it mean that he simply fell from a jet ski, then said to hell with jet skiing, I want me a coconut, and so he climbed a tree, and then fell from that too?

Yes, well.... I'll tell you what I think. Keith Richards was passed out under a coconut tree, (and everyone knows you NEVER sit under a coconut tree), and a coconut fell on his head. No stunts, no adventure,... just a ripe coconut that let go.
