Please have a look - hoax photo

[John C. Ratliff]

Just to set the record straight, these are not US Navy Seals, the diver is a US Air Force Pararescueman (PJ). I believe (check the National Geographic site shown above) this was taken in San Francisco Bay, and the bridge is the Golden Gate. I also believe the image is reversed. My memory says that the shark came from a photo out of Australia. Anyway, the PJ wasn't too worried, because everyone knows that a PJ can swim through water faster than a shark can swim through #@*$.

..My uncle knew the cousin of the guy in that photo and it's real. The guy crapped his wetsuit when that happened.

We really shouldn't make light of his situation because he lost his foot in that freakish mishap.

Why didn't the shark just eat the PJ's that are in the water.???
Looks to me like they would be a much easier catch.

I'll have you know, maam, that my uncle is a VERY trustworthy person ...and that guy's cousin is a preacher!

p.s.
I like your quote about setting a man on fire.

I saw that about a year ago. I thought it was cool. I doughted it's authenticity, but didn't rule it a fake. Stupid me I guess.

I've met a few preachers and preachers kids for that matter in my day just cause they believe in god does not make them any less gullible than us common folk in my book. Beside have you ever met a preachers kid all I can say is SCARY!

I get things just like this all the time in my inbox. I've got another one I'm sure all of you've seen. It's the famous 'World Trade Center Tourist" Photo.

Now, how many of you first thought this thing was real? For those of you who did, I've got a few following pics that might change your mind. Just another example of some sick idiot playing games.

Photo manipulation is sooo easy now what with programs like Photoshop and such. Let me know if you want to see any more. I've got a few on my laptop that are a lot more hilarious
