AUSTRALIA MOVES TO BE MORE UNDERSTANDING OF SHARKS

Authorities in Australia are trying to get the public to be more understanding of sharks, the giant fish that will eat you. There’s a movement afoot – or afin – to stop calling them “shark attacks” or “shark bites” and start calling them “negative encounters.” Already, the Department of Primary Industries in NSW has dropped the term “shark attack” from it’s annual reporting on, uh, shark attacks, and started calling them ‘incidents’ or ‘interactions.’ And Nathan Hart, an associate professor at Macquarie University, said, “Very rarely are humans consumed by sharks. Sharks don’t have hands so, if they want to explore something, they mouth it.”
* Yeah – then they bite down on it, tear it off, and swallow it.
* “Sharks don’t have hands.” That’s why he’s an associate professor.
* You try explaining to a shark that this is all a big misunderstanding.
* Guy with his leg bitten off is pulled out of the ocean: “We just agreed to disagree.”
* I guess there had to be ONE person on earth who hasn’t seen “Jaws.”
