July 25 take the bait

Phelps v great white shark. There’s a media firestorm over here after the great swimming event didn’t play out the way many thought it would. The discovery Chanel produced a documentary where they promoted a match race between Michael Phelps and a great white shark  over a 100 m . Think about it , a wild shark that eats anything , people included, looking across at a man swimming along side him over a set distance . No people . Of course it was computer simulated. Social media went into melt down when it was revealed it was a set up . Not real ? Yesterday  morning I nearly choked on my weeties , last night I nearly burst my appendix laughing when thousands of people got upset that there was no race . Phelps swum alone with flippers on , only he really wasn’t alone as several divers acted as barriers just in case old whitey decided to swim real fast . Now that’s the story , these divers were put out there so as old mate my take one of them 1st . Brilliant .It was later revealed that a great white can swim 4 times faster than someone with flippers . People havn’t you seen that scene from that documentary ‘Jaws2 ‘ where he catches the water skier ? Enough said.
