Lifeguards helping about 100 people regarding rip currents they should have previously been warned about?

We need more Darwinguards, scowling above the dangerous waves and sipping whiskey as they witness Mother Nature's motherly grasp doing what it does best.

Since they focus more on the riptides and idiot parents, I'm assuming "Bitten by a shark" means "Nipped by some tiny dogfish or something".

I'm not surprised, this area is one of the world's sharkbite capitals... I got nibbled on in Ormond last year. It happens.

Uhm. I used to live a block from that beach.  Like literally a block.  That's MY old beach.  Yikes!

I think that I am familiar with the fact that you are going to ignore this particular problem until it swims up and BITES YOU ON THE ASS!

The incident capped a busy day for Volusia County beaches because because of crowds and rough surf.


Because because because because because, because of the wonderful things he he does.

If people actually knew what was lurking just feet away in waist deep water they would never go into the water again.

Saw a low altitude photo of Tampa Bay taken from an ultralight plane. People just feet from shore had no idea there were sharks just yards away, EVERYWHERE.

You have a better chance of being turned to paste by some texting-while-driving teen or Gramma driving 2 tons of death while on Oxy and Xanax than being shark chow.

Sometimes that shark he looks right into ya. Right into your eyes. And, you know, the thing about a shark... he's got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be living... until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then... ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin'.

Here's lies the body of Mary Lee, died at the age of a hundred and three. For fifteen years she kept her virginity, not a bad record for this vicinity.

That's nothing!
I saw this one picture of a shark jumping out of the water and eating a guy trying to climb into a helicopter!
