This was in our local newspaper. A local man by the name of Frank Johnston sent this joke into the Readers Digest. It will be published in an upcoming issue.

Two great white sharks swimming in the ocean spy some surfers. The younger one licks his lips and makes a beeline for them.
"Just a minute," says his father, stopping him. "First we swim around them with just the tip of our fins showing."
And they do.
"Now we swim around them a few times with all our fins showing."
And they do.
"Now we eat everybody."
When they are both gorged, the son asks, "Dad, why didn't we just eat them when we first saw them?"
"Because they taste better without all the poop inside."

I had to laugh, even though we have had about 10 fatalities in the last year from attacks by the great white sharks. It has been a really bad year for these attacks. I do not know if you have any deaths in Florida caused by people being taken by a great white shark, but they are hug terrifying beasts. We have increased our aerial shark patrols and are starting them earlier. The great white shark is on the endangered list and is therefore a protected species here in Australia. People have called to have it removed from the list so they can then hunt and kill them. This will not solve the problem because the shark they kill may not be the one that caused the deaths, besides the shark is only doing what a shark does, we are invading their territory.

Well said, I don't know why anyone cannot read the humor in a joke as they must have an awful dull life! True, I am sorry for anyone lost to a shark, but the ocean belongs to them!

As I have said many, many, many times to people who cannot read a joke without writing nasty words,

LIGHTEN UP, DO A LITTLE QUICK STEP AND MOST OF ALL LAUGH!

This was funny, first off the ocean is the domain of these beasts , if you want to be in it then you must suffer the consequences of being in their territory! I dont swim in anything anywhere where I could be eaten for lunch , I have much more respect for the open waters just so I can have a little fun ....

Just curious. What do the people who object to this think is a funny joke? Please give an example.
You mean the people born without a sense of humour or the people who had the operation to remove their sense of humour? Hmmmm me thinks I will have to google that one?

Laugh and the world laughs with you, cry and you cry alone.
