I grew up near Southport, Australia, so naturally I would go to the ocean quite a bit. I used to think if I got sunburnt then any sharks swimming in the water would think I was a crab and jump onto the shore to eat me. The longer I stayed in the sun and the redder I got, the more chance I had of being eaten. Needless to say, I didn't go swimming a lot.
