I wonder what you'd be thinking while being eaten by a shark

[undeterred]

I can't even imagine how scary it would be to be in the water and be close enough to see a shark. But to actually become lunch. Well, I guess that's the way a lot of animals die. At least its quick...

[WilliamPitt]

1. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow.

Or some permutation thereof.

Just a guess.

[DFW]

74. I had a permutation, myself. Similar, though......

[suninvited]

2. Probably the same thing you would think

if you were about to get hit by a bus, or you were falling off a cliff or any other number of things that bring about a quick but probably painful death.

I think I would prefer it to a long, lingering illness. We don't get to choose how we go, though.

[WilliamPitt]

4. HST did.

"Oh, now I remember. Well, when I see him, I'm going to give him a piece of my mind. Or some piece of me."

5. I could be playing golf!!!! Why the hell did I decide to go swimming?!

I bet my last words would be "Oh, shit!".

[undeterred]

7. "Why the hell did I decide to go swimming?!"

:rofl: too late now

[AnneD]

11. I think my last words would be the same......

maybe 'Maybe forgive me Lord and make it quick' if I have enough mental snap.

[limit18]

6. utter terror

would probably override all my thoughts!

[LeftyMom]

8. I can see the headline now: "Shark Adopts Vegan Diet"

[ulysses]

9. LOL!

Ok, that's funny...

[ThomCat]

10. I've always heard that vegans are tasty.

:9

:P

[LeftyMom]

12. I've also heard that rumor on the internets.

:thumbsup:

16. Shark says "tastes like tofu to me"

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. 'Revised list of things not to do with Dick Cheney:

"1. Hunt.

"2. Swim."

[flvegan]

14. Probably how the hell to get back to shore

and how to not get bitten again. Most shark attacks on people resulting in death is from blood loss, not from being devoured I believe. People taste like shit to sharks, I'd imagine. Which is odd, considering they are the oceanic equivalent of the dumpster.

[LeftyMom]

15. It's not really taste, it's the low fat content.

They would waste more energy in attacking and digesting a human than they would get back from that digestion.

This is why Holly isn't allowed to swim in the ocean. That and tsunami risk.

27. LOL! nt

18. I'd try to go Gordon Ramsay on it and confuse it

This leg is RAW! You FUCKING DONKEY!

[undeterred]

24. Your butt is about to disappear forever.

25. The food chain is actually a circle:

[WinkyDink]

46. I don't like that picture. :(

[Xenotime]

49. This is a very disturbing image.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

22. fuck you shark!! I hope I give you gas, you muthafucka!!

well. day-um it fucking hurts x(

[Catsbrains]

39. LOL....

[Jamastiene]

23. Oh shit.

I've had it.

[Truthiness Inspector]

26. I'm not sure but I have an idea

I once looked down, while snorkeling, and saw a baby shark about 5 feet below me and thought, "How cute, it's just a baby!" A nanosecond later I thought, "Mama can't be far behind, I need to get the hell out of the water." I was about 15 and with a friend and her much younger sister, who then began to panic (understandably) and splash around, sucking in water which is the opposite of what you should do. We had to grab her and swim her back to shore all while pretending we had it under control while crapping our own pants (GULP!).

I was very fortunate that I never met Mama; I can't imagine the horror the moment you feel the jaw clamp down, knowing if you got out alive you would likely be alive missing body parts and/or permanently changed and damaged.

[MonkeyFunk]

30. I don't think you had to worry

I don't think sharks "raise" their young. Like most fish, they're born with all they need to go out into the world on their own.

[undeterred]

54. Yeah but what if there was one gene in the pool

for "over-mothering" and you ran into the shark that inherited it?

[Critters2]

28. Salt water REALLY feels nasty on an open wound.

This is what I honestly think whenever I hear of someone being injured in the ocean...OW!! That's gotta hurt! Blood AND salt water, a bad combo!

[Lil Missy]

29. I'd kiss my ass goodbye, and hope I'd go quickly. n/t

31. How about "Holy shit. I'm beating eaten by a shark! Help!"

42. Nice quip, Agrajag. nt

[badgerpup]

55. I see what you did there...

...just my luck, get landed on by a whale and a bowl of petunias while being eaten by a shark.

My final thoughts would then run something along the line of OH SHIIII....

..............................*SPLAT*

[Deep13]

34. Probably...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAARG!!!!!!

[Adsos Letter]

35. "Damn, there goes my day..."

:hide:

[Recovered Repug]

36. He was right. I shoulda got a bigger boat.

[alphafemale]

37. C'mon...you've gotta be fucking kidding me...WAKE UP! WAKEUP! WAKEUP! ahhfuck.

This isn't a dream.

Damn.

[taterguy]

38. How the fuck did a shark get in this mountain river?

[undeterred]

40. He heard there was good eatin'.

[KatyMan]

68. Fantastic pic

Where is it? I wanna go!

[Schema Thing]

41. I wonder if I taste like chicken?

[DinahMoeHum]

44. Actually, humans apparently taste AWFUL to a shark. . .

the shark only realizes too late (for it and the victim) that it is NOT a tasty seal.

:evilgrin:

[Deep13]

45. Pork, actually.

This might be the basis for certain religious prohibitions on eating pork.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

43. I'd try to beat him up

Maybe knock some teeth out.

[texas1928]

47. They told me my wet suit looked to much like a seal...

Should have listened.

[MissMillie]

48. "I wonder if I taste like chicken...."

:shrug:

[Adsos Letter]

50. "Damn! I don't remember seeing this in my dayrunner..."

[SPKrazy]

51. I would hope I'd pass out from the pain

otherwise I have no freakin idea

[Shine]

52. I doubt I'd be thinking at all...only feeling, probably complete terror.

:(

I hope when I die it's fast, but I don't want to die in fear, either.

[Catsbrains]

56. Did I turn my curling iron off?

[Radical Activist]

61. haha

good one

[krispos42]

57. "Fuckin' Spielberg!"

"Shit, I'm Quint!"

[sammythecat]

58. Oh! Ahh! NO...no! Stop! Stop! AHhh...I'm gonna Die! NO! No!...Oh!

Maybe more likely it would just one AHH! followed by a lot of gasping followed by one last Ohh...

I think in my mind it would just be a lot of repeated No!'s

Hopefully you'd quickly pass out from rapid blood loss and you'd never really realize what had happened. Of course if it was a small shark he'd take smaller bites and you could think.

Gee. This is a fun topic! :woohoo:

Just think, that would be your legacy. No matter what else you did, you'd always be the guy that got eaten by a shark. "Yeah, I remember him. He got eaten by a shark."

[6000eliot]

59. Sharks don't eat people.

They don't like the way we taste. They do bite us, however.

[undeterred]

60. Well, they sometimes bite people into pieces.

Like we do with our food. And the people die. So I'm gonna say the experience of being eaten by a shark and the experience of being bitten into two or more pieces by a shark are pretty close.

[Perry Logan]

65. Oddly, I've heard survivors talk about being filled with feelings of calmness and acceptance.

[undeterred]

66. After they died or just before?

[guitar man]

67. I'd be gettin' my "ugly on"

"Oh no you did not just bite my ass!....It is ON muthafucker and I'm gonna be whoopin' your ugly, stank, fish breath ass all the way back up to the beach....your own mama ain't gonna recognize your ass when I get through with you...and you better hope there's an ambulance there, you're gonna need it!"

:D
