All shark attacks are preceded by the &#8220;daah-da, daah-da&#8221;<br \/>\nchords, which will gradually become more rapid as the shark gets closer.<br \/>\nThis is due to the Doppler Effect.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3: Swim with fat people.<\/strong><br \/>\nTry to surround yourself with more appetizing companions.<br \/>\nIf you know them well, you might even try to switch their suntan lotion<br \/>\nwith A-1 Steak Sauce. This will definitely improve your odds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4: Don`t go into the water without a knife.<\/strong><br \/>\nThis is not to defend yourself but to stab the person (a.k.a the decoy)<br \/>\nclosest to you in the case of a shark attack. Once you are sure the<br \/>\n&#8220;decoy&#8221; is bleeding profusely&#8230;..swim for your life.<br \/>\nAnd finally&#8230;..<\/p>\n<p><strong>5: Don`t panic.<\/strong><br \/>\nIn the event that a shark actually bites you, try to remain calm. This<br \/>\nreally won`t help you survive, but everyone else on the beach will<br \/>\nappreciate you not shrieking madly, as this is quite unsettling and can<br \/>\nreally spoil a wonderful day out! \u00a0Remember it&#8217;s not always about you ..!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Tahoma&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;\"><em><strong>Thanks to Lorraine for this one!<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<div class='wp_likes' id='wp_likes_post-244'><a class='like' href=\"javascript:wp_likes.like(244);\" title='' ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.galmin.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-likes\/images\/like.png?w=750&#038;ssl=1\" alt='' border='0'\/><\/a><span class='text'>Be the first to like.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class='like' ><a href=\"javascript:wp_likes.like(244);\">Like<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='unlike' ><a href=\"javascript:wp_likes.unlike(244);\">Unlike<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some tips to survice a shark attack!
