Perhaps sharks could factory farm the imbeciles that go swimming in shark inhabited waters. That would give sharks a ready food supply, keep sharks away from the beaches and rid the world of some very retrograde genetic material and so prevent future contamination.

It may be news, but it’s not new news. I watched a pair of sharks, probably bull sharks, swimming among bathers from a 10th floor hotel room in Miami Beach. No one bothered them and they didn’t nibble on anyone.

I’ve seen small sharks caught off a pair at Pawley’s Zisland and caught a small stingray there. Even had what I now assume was a small shark brush my leg in 3 feet of water there. I had thought it a fish at the time. But, I’ve never had a fish get that close any other time.

Yes, we are visiting their home. It’s naive to think they won’t say hello.
