Terrible story. I’ve been afraid of the ocean since I saw Jaws as a child.

Me, too! It ruined my fun at the beach forever.

Entering the ocean on a volunteer basis is akin to being an athiest and accompanying Daniel into the Lion's Den.
Or bedding down for the night in a hungry bear's den.
Or walking into a rattlesnakes' nest barefooted.
Or playing badminton with a hornet's nest.
Or trying to extinguish a Killer Bee hive with a BB gun.

Yeah, pretty much ruined it!

I stick to about knee deep. Being Irish, the beach isn’t the ideal place for me anyway.

I've not been in the ocean above my knees since seeing Jaws.

I also remember a Bob Hope joke from that summer.

"I got into my tub and my rubber ducky started circling me."
