Actually it is a dolphin. They like to surf also. One of the great beach
shots is of 7 dolphins riding the same wave at Santa Barbara.

The first year it was released (late 70s?) a lot of people were afraid of
the water. Watch the movie...you'll get over it in a year or so.
That was a real classic...beautiful photography.. felt like you were
there.
I remember visiting Universal Studios, California in 1983 and the big
hi-light was the 'JAWS' exhibit where the shark comes up alongside your
little tram car.

My youngest daughter was about 9 when we went there. She was under the seat
a couple of milliseconds after the shark surfaced.

Or, "I am gonna find a women who can suck the crome off a trailer hitch".
Only great thing to come out of that movie.

You win!!! I forgot about that line, Electric Horseman, right? I think
that was Willie Nelson's line when talking about finding a willing Keno
girl.

I got as far as the first girl the shark gets at the beginning of the movie.
When she started bobbing up and down like the bobber on my fishing line, I
left the room and have never seen any more. I live on a river that has
visibility of about 4" under water. I wasn't going to watch that movie or I
wouldn't have ever gotten in the water, again, even though I know! Illinois
has no sharks. Can't stand snakes in movies either.

Pizza delivery.

Plumber.

Candygram.

I'm only a dolphin, sir.

Common, everyone knows it's "I love the smell of napalm in the
morning..." Not only that, it's boating related!!
