I Sure as Hell Can Tell the Difference
Between a Surfer and a Sea Turtle
As you well may know, there's been a lot of talk about shark attacks this
summer because this adorable child had his arm eaten off a couple of months
ago. Now I'm not here to defend my shark friends as relatively harmless
beings, nor as victims of the human ocean intrusion, despite the strength
of my case. I'm here because every shark attack, especially those
involving surfers, is blamed on mistaken identity. “Oh, they're not
man-eaters, it's just that he thought the guy was a turtle or a fish.”
Fuck that. I'm a man-eater.
What kind of seeing-eye dog-needing motherfucker do you
take me for? I can't tell the difference between a fish and some
gritty surfer dude? Dude. I'm the ultimate killing machine.
I can smell blood in a concentration of one part per million. I can
hear swimming fish 600 yards away. Shit, man, I can detect the electrical
field emitted by breathing sea creatures. Yet you're still going
to sit there and tell me I'm mistaking a surfer for a turtle? Please.
Sometimes we just feel like some human meat, but of course this is rare—you
guys taste like shit.
Anyway, isn't it enough that you people kill 100 million
of us every goddamn year? Do you have to go spreading rumors and
making movies? Sure, I look like a real ass, what with my cold, dark
eyes, row after row of teeth, and the monotone skin. But I'm cool.
No joke, man. I just want someone to listen. Why do you have
to make it so hard? We kill less people then honeybees. Less
than lightning. Less than fucking pigs. Can't you just work
on laying the myth to rest? For me? Please? Huh?
You know what? Fuck you, man. Stay out of the deep end.
