$ fortune | cowsay _________________________________________ / So Richard and I decided to try to \ | catch [the small shark]. With a great | | deal of strategy and effort and | | shouting, we managed to maneuver the | | shark, over the course of about a | | half-hour, to a sort of corner of the | | lagoon, so that it had no way to escape | | other than to flop up onto the land and | | evolve. Richard and I were inching | | toward it, sort of crouched over, when | | all of a sudden it turned around and -- | | I can still remember the sensation I | | felt at that moment, primarily in the | | armpit area -- headed right straight | | toward us. | | | | Many people would have panicked at this | | point. But Richard and I were not "many | | people." We were experienced waders, | | and we kept our heads. We did exactly | | what the textbook says you should do | | when you're unarmed and a shark that is | | nearly two feet long turns on you in | | water up to your lower calves: We | | sprinted I would say 600 yards in the | | opposite direction, using a sprinting | | style such that the bottoms of our feet | | never once went below the surface of | | the water. We ran all the way to the | | far shore, and if we had been in a | | Warner Brothers cartoon we would have | | run right INTO the beach, and you would | | have seen these two mounds of sand | | racing across the island until they | | bonked into trees and coconuts fell | | onto their heads. | | | | -- Dave Barry, "The Wonders of Sharks | \ on TV" / ----------------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || ||
