I wish I were eloquent enough to describe the grace of these voracious predators that won't even leave a peaceful rusty license plate alone.
A friend reminded me of ONE incident that happened decades ago when a license plate was found in the stomach of a tiger shark. The message is clear but wrong: If these ruthless killer sharks eat metallic objects they will also eat humans.
Such are most "Shark Week" fans - they are unforgiving and won't learn.
This same friend warned me of expressing too much love toward tiger sharks - otherwise I could find my end like that bear hugger who was killed and eaten by the very grizzly he tried to befriend.
That poor guy made a big mistake - he should have carried a honey pot to pacify his pet.
In the future I will only dive with a 'tiger shark treat' attached to my belt - an old license plate. You never know, it could save my life... :-)
