The male sharks were gathered together at their favorite watering hole in the Bahamas, and just chewing some barracuda fat - and one of them brought up their frequent topic - Humans.
'Big Mako', a burly shark, said - “I don't even like the taste of humans. too skinny - no fat on the bones. None of that good fish type oil from them. just that gummy red stuff.
“I'm older,” said Big Mako. “My eyesight is not so good. When they are wiggling their feet off of those surf boards - it is just instinct to strike. sort of like a large fluttering lure on a fish line. I spit them out half the time. not tasty at all.
“Then we get a bad Rep. for attacking them - when they are in our territory.”
“Many times, it is the juvenile sharks biting them,” said the ancient great White, know as Ralph.
“When they are young, they will bite at anything - reckless - haven't any discipline at that age. Just cruising around and looking for trouble to get into.”
The Hammerhead shark, known as 'Nosy' said, “I've heard they eat us - and lots of us. but are upset when we eat them. What a stupid bunch of people. "
They all nodded their head in agreement at that - and passed around more barracuda bits. Then started chatting about the new female Great White in the neighborhood and if Ralph would have any chance with her.
Ralph said he was too old - let the younger Great Whites compete.
He had had his glory days in the sunlit waters.
