Fink is looking forward to seeing Rodney’s worker’s comp attorneys.

If he falls in the tank, the sharks won’t eat him out of professional courtesy.

But who are we kidding when it comes to sharks?

I may grow older,but I’ll never grow up.

Don’t get too close Fink. You might be an appetizer.

Growing up is mandatory, maturing is optional…..

He’s that excited to see a bunch of lawyers?

I think the Fink never grew up physically or mentally. He’s a short man who is also a spoiled brat.

Did you hear about the aquarium owner?

His shark was worse than his pike.

The star attraction at my local aquarium has been repossessed.

Turns out it was a loan shark.

What happened when the shark got famous?

He became a starfish.

What do yuppie sharks like to drink?

Jaw-va.

“When I was One,

I had just begun.

When I was Two,

I was nearly new.

When I was Three

I was hardly me.

When I was Four,

I was not much more.

When I was Five, I was just alive.

But now I am Six, I’m as clever as clever,

So I think I’ll be six now for ever and ever.”

— AA Milne

Will this be WOI’s version of “Shark Week”?

I still enjoy childish things, like Looney Tunes. I haven’t grown up, maturity wise, at least.

Lets go see the newest Jurassic Park movie. It starts with lots of “Oh, yeah. Oooh, ahhh, that’s how it always starts. Then later there’s running and um, screaming.” Then the dying.

meh, more of a nudibranch guy.

I suppose even the fink has to visit his lawyers once in a while.

Off the coasts of New England, Florida and California they are trying to bring the kids out if the sharks.

Until they bite your leg off…

The Fink looks bigger

Sharks don’t bring out the kid in me! They bring out the scared.

I caught a shark one time. Little sand shark I stepped on, could easily hold it in my hand. I asked a friend from Texas about it. He said they frequently caught them to eat on the beaches in Texas. I asked him if it was dangerous. He said no so I let go of it. I had been in the middle of a circle of people. All of a sudden I was completely alone. They didn’t trust the idea that the shark was not dangerous.

Good times in Angola, the People’s Republic thereof.

I also remember seeing a very large hammerhead shark down-current from one of our drilling rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. He was waiting for any food scraps anybody might throw in the water — or if anybody fell in, I guess but they told me he wasn’t particularly dangerous either although he (she!) weighed a ton or more heavier. There was no picking him up like I had the other one.

Sounds like my mom and son neither one wanted to grow up. Mom is gone and but my oldest is still being young at heart

Not sure of the attraction. To me, they just seem like animated teeth.
