When I first seen him he was side ways and a little distance off. When he came toward me then I seen his hammers.
Sorry thought you were talking to me.

I would do my best to not act like food and thank God that I didn't use my pork-scented cologne that day.
It's made with bits of real pig.

The pork scented cologne(ewww, although these days that might attract SOME females!) aside, is that what you are supposed to do when a shark approaches you? I have debated this many of times with people. I personally believe that you should stay put for 3 reasons:
#1 there is no way you are going to swim fast enough to get away from a shark
#2 If you stay somewhat still he will probably focus on something besides you(unless he's already singled you out)
#3 I heard that you can disorientate a shark by punching its external nares

According to this last episode of Shark week, if one gets ahold of you then stick your hand in its gills that hurts them. To avoid being lunch get below them, like on the bottom because they like to attack from below and my personal choice dive with someone your willing to sacrafice!

I've only been in the great lakes, where there is barely any wildlife... I almost wet myself at first glance!
Lets see.. I'd lay on the bottom and as he passed over, grab those peck fins and go for a ride!
Hmm.. no.. maybe not.. but at least on the bottom he'd have to be in a different position to really see me.
Probably experience diuresis, possibly even off gas a little.. I'd be grinning sort of like a Man Shark around my reg from the adrenaline..

You know. he does kind of look like he's smiling...
Maybe he just wanted in the picture.
I'm assuming GWA shot it from the cage...
Yeah, that's what I don't like about great whites or most sharks in general. It seems that they're always smiling(it makes them so darn cute!), but at the same time, they have better plans(like their next meal)......Whoa! Wait! I think I know some people who do that as well! lol :11:
I'd hide in the big brown cloud (the one rapidly forming around me!)
