Shark Food

[retrocop]

Two great white sharks swimming in the ocean spied survivors of a sunken ship.

"Follow me son" the father shark said to the son shark and they swam towards the mass of people.

"First we swim around them a few times with just the tip of our fins showing."
...

And they did. - "Well done, son! Now we swim around them a few times with all of our fins showing."

And they did. - "Now we eat everybody."

And they did, and when they were both gorged, the son asked, "Dad, why didn’t we just eat them all at first ? Why did we swim around and around them ?"

His wise father replied, "Because they taste better if you scare the carp out of them first!"

Yeabut, Retrocop, maybe the survivors had been eating spam and not carp.

Yes carp wasn't the best substitute but for fear of banishment I avoided the S*** word. :-)

Retocop, as soon as I posted my response I thought of how insensitive it could be considered. At least I can say that I was remembering those poor boys. I realise that this is Jokes, but I'll post a link as to what I was referring (6th. paragraph down): https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/the-worst-shark-attack-in-history-25715092/

I have this on DVD which relates the story. Not for the faint hearted.

The skipper of the fishing boat in Jaws ( Robert Shaw)related the story on their hunt for Jaws also. He played a survivor from the USS Indianapolis

I heard that they went to Morecambe Bay as they were so fed up of eating carp and tuna....
