The Top 12 Shark Attack Prevention Strategies
- Using a felt marker, write "Best Before July 2001" on your thigh.
- Wear a really skimpy Speedo -- no one wants to see that, not even a shark.
- Be sensitive to the shark's needs. Sometimes, like you and me, they just need to be held.
- Your startlingly realistic impression of an injured seal? Leave it in the car, dude.
- Always go into the water with the kid who pulls off his scabs.
- Wait at least thirty minutes to go swimming after eating a bucket of chum.
- Only swim on days Miss Cleo says it's safe.
- Don't let your children into the water until the sharks have filled themselves up on the neighbor's kids first.
- Always swim with a slower, juicier buddy.
- When swimming, always bring along a bottle of Zima. Just like humans, sharks hate Zima.
- Avoid heavy use of "Zesty Cajun Flavor" sun block.
and the Number 1 Shark Attack Prevention Strategy...
- Cover yourself with pictures of Anne Heche, because not even a shark would go near that crazy-ass chick.
