MAN TRIES TO SELL LIVE SHARK OUTSIDE SUPERMARKET

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is looking into reports of a man who was selling a live shark outside a South Florida supermarket last Thursday. Shoppers outside a Publix Supermarket in Fort Lauderdale said a man hauled in the five-foot nurse shark, dropped it on the sidewalk, and tried to sell it. The man who was hawking the shark – Patrick Lanier – said he “felt like a leprechaun, struck gold” after catching the shark in the Intracoastal Waterway. Lanier said he was hoping to make about $100 from selling the shark, but no one seemed interested. When he found no buyers, he says he released it back into the water. It it not legal in the state of Florida to sell a shark you have caught without a commercial license, something Lanier said he figured out while trying to find a buyer.
* At least the gator sold.
* Sounds like an out-take from Sharknado.
* He felt like a leprechaun? I had no idea that leprechauns like to catch sharks.
* How do they find sharks in the middle of the Irish countryside?
* Leprechauns are stupider than I thought.
* You know it’s bad when people who eat sharks just use the fins for soup.
* At least take it to a drive-through window just for laughs: “I’ll have a burger and give me a fish sandwich for the shark.”
* Remember this story the next time a shark takes a surfer’s leg off.
