WOW!
And they don't use Photoshop.
I've spent most of my money on women, motorcycles, and beer.
The rest of it I just wasted.

Looks like obvious boat prop injuries to the side of the shark.

Saw a 60 Minutes story about a South African guy who "plays" with Great White Sharks. He motored out, chummed the water, and then checked the disposition of the sharks at the rear of his boat. He swatted them on the nose, and to me it looked like he was playing with a rambunctious Labrador Retriever. When he's confident that the day's sharks are "players," he gets in the water with just his snorkeling gear. This is the guy you've seen holding onto a dorsal fin, getting a tow.
Call me Mel. Some years ago- never mind how long precisely- having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me at home, I thought I would ride about a little and see the other parts of the world.

I bet it's from mating encounters. Sometimes "No!" means "If you can!"
