These poor sharks really take a beating from us humans. I was just reading
the other day that in Australia, at least one expert says to punch them in
the nose when they get too close.

Hey, Dudley, I heard that too. When I was a kid I knew a guy who had been a
surfer-bum in San Diego. He told me that the sharks would chase the
surfboard and if they got too close you'd just kick 'em in the nose.
Except, one time in doing so he fell off the board and ended up more or less
kicking the shark in the mouth and then ending up in the water with it.

Strangest thing....he gave up surfing, moved to Denver and took up
skydiving. : (Seriously.)
