I'd rather eat shark soup than hug him. Excuse me, I think I need to go throw up.

Cypress,
Try not to get too upset about it. We snorkeled for a long time at Saltpond before seeing one. He/she was a biggie 5-6 feet and once discovered swam away from us. I thought if I saw a shark I would be so scared but I was so much more interested in taking pictures and observing it. The permit fish that followed us around was more scary. I have eaten shark and it's pretty tasty
I have also dissected one. The have great smell receptors and really small brains
Jorge- LMAO
When will I see St John again?

Well that's just great!! They can smell me while they eat me with their small little brains.
My husbands sister is a vet and she scubas with sharks, but she also jumps out of planes, so I'm not sure I'd trade I.Q.'s with her.

Not in your carry-on but probably in your checked luggage. I got on the TSA site the other day and was pretty amused to find you can check a sword!

I had to ask my daughter what ROTFLMAO meant...........that is too funny. I feel so old.
No chum perfume for me. I may not even wear deodorant.

sea-nile, that is a great picture. It sure looks like the shark is 6-7 ft instead of 2.
