Tips for a safe summer - how to prevent shark attacks

I got the following email from my boss this morning - it is excellent!!

Tips for a safe summer - how to prevent shark attacks

1. Don't swim in the sea.

More than 99% of all shark attacks happen in large water masses,
also known as oceans. The way to establish if you're in an ocean
is to taste the water. It should taste salty.


2. Don't go in the water without a knife.

That's to stab the nearest swimmer when you see a shark. As soon
as he/she bleeds profusely, swim as fast as you can to the shore
and claim you tried your best to save him/her. You might end up
getting an award for bravery.


3. Listen intently.

All sharks have a 'theme song' - If you hear the following, swim
for your life :
   da-dam, da-dam, da-dam
If it sounds like this:
   dadam, dadam, dadam
you're already gone.


4. Don't panic.

Stay calm when a shark bites you. Its over, you're gone and
it doesn't help you to try to survive. The people on the shore
will appreciate it, they don't want to hear your mad yelling and
screaming, it's not nice. It's not all about you.
