Damn you must be a boring person! Do you dare drive? Statistics show
cars are very dangerous, according to your analogy, only an idiot would
drive. Do you dare to mow your lawn? Lawnmowers are dangerous, only an
idiot would use one. What about a boat? Again, they are dangerous, and
everyone KNOWS it, so only an idiot would go out in one.


Bass,
This seems to have struck a nerve with you, and you have decided not to
discuss this in a logical manner. You are acting very foolish in this
discussion. No logical discussion would compare kissing a wild shark in
the same category as taking reasonable risks, ie driving a car, mowing a
lawnmower, or driving a boat.

Now if you compared it to trying to stop the blade of a lawnmower with
your hand, or even turning the lawnmower upside down and using the
lawnmower bland as a fan to cool off, I would go along with your
analogy. As I said, "Hey watch this".

So, the next time you go diving or snorkling are you going to kiss a
shark? If not, why not?


There was a guy who used his lawn mower as a hedge trimmer, and in the
process cut off his hand (or at least part of it). He sued the lawn mower
manufacturer. No where in the 'cautions' did it say he shouldn't use the
lawn mower as a hedge trimmer.

Perhaps the shark kissing idiot can sue his employer, who probably never
told him that shark kissing could be dangerous.
