    Every time people saw a fin in the water, many would be screaming SHARK! Ummm..
    dolphins have curved fins, sharks are more squared off!
    I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

    People crack me up. If you can't tell the difference between a porpoise's fin and a sharks, go play in your kiddy pool in the yard. You don't deserve to be in the ocean and you DO deserve to be eaten. Damned fuckwits.

    I remember going snorkeling with this one jughead. "Watch me shoot the barracuda". WHAT?!. Spear bounced right off. Gee who could have predicted THAT. Guess what the cuda does when attacked?

    Keep your uneducated asses in a pool.

    They'll attack anything shiny. I recall people saying "you can catch them with a silver spoon". Why the Hell do I want to catch one?

    Where in Key West? I lived in Sigsbee Park. Was housing for NAS Key West.

    Now you KNOW I'm a smartass. Not far from the shore in Key West means Key West. Didn't hand out house boats for base housing though.
