A group of surfers got their laughs when they pushed one of their own overboard as a shark was approaching in the waters.
Thankfully, no one was hurt in the incident, and the shark actually turned out to be one of a friendly variety - a basking shark, which only feeds on plankton (and not surfers!). Upon approaching the surfers’ dinghy, the shark actually flopped out of the way to avoid running into it.

“What the f***?! That was mad!” the cameraman says after the victim was pulled back aboard.
“He kept coming at me,” the surfer, who attempted to punch the shark out of the way, said.

I can't thank you enough for all that you have done for me. About a year ago I my partner split up, we had both made BIG mistakes in our relationship. He ended up moving away from me to pursue a new life. I knew in my heart that he would be the only one to make me happy. I was relieved when I found your email on a site about what you have done. I requested 1 to 2 day casting of the reunite us love spell and within 3days mark company had relocated him back to our hometown where I still lived. We immediately reconnected and move in with each other. Our wedding date is set for Summer 2012. Expect to see your invite in the mail thanks to upesaspelltemple@gmail.com

God certainly has a great sense of humo(u)r. Take the mouth on the basking shark, for a, er, small example. There would be the opposite reaction if the basking shark suddenly ripped off the "face mask" and turned out to be a man eater.
