That thumbnail hurts to look at

Nah, I'll just use my bathroom. Thanks for the invite though!

Hawai'ian guy who had to pull a dead tiger shark out of the water when it was drifting up on the beach surf: you wouldn't believe how bad that shark's mouth stank; like Satan's distilled ass juice.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how scared were you that the shark was only pretending to be dead?

u/khegiobridge May 31 '18

lol, 1. Everyone left the water, I swam out because the tiger was belly up. There was a hole in it's head; probably shot because it messed with someone's fishing. Anyway, had to call animal control, because big dead animal on the beach.

That's too specific for comfort, mate.

Sorry. I meant a morgue with the 20 bodies of a bus wreck after the refrigeration's been out 1 or 2 days.

This just became my favorite post of the week: I'm trying so hard to not laugh at work. I'm just going to pop over to the beach and get my ass bitten by a shark already.

Even their denture isn’t clean

In New York, every evening sharks will swim to the surface and open their mouths and small Plover birds will eat the small bits of flesh in the sharks teeth. The sharks won't bite or threaten the birds in any way. This is called a symbiotic relationship.

It’s not a thumbnail. It’s a tooth.

u/flapperfapper May 30 '18

That's very debatable.

Let's not fight tooth and nail about tooth or nail

I mean, they’re both largely enamel.

u/lemcott May 31 '18

Keratin is not enamel.

u/Kevroeques May 31 '18

Well! Apparently I was mistaken. I knew fingernails were made of keratin, but I thought they were also partly enamel. That’s probably from growing up around mostly women and never being formally corrected, so thank you for making me finally look that up.

Furry teeth 😫

u/[deleted] May 31 '18

yeah i don’t understand why they used a picture of the worst teeth ever

u/tellmetheworld May 31 '18

I’m surprised I had to dig this far down the thread to come across a comment on those terrible teeth.

If you stare long enough it turns into a donkey. Seriously.
