We're Gonna Need a Bigger Boat!

phpCE8xLuPM.jpgHey surfers and swimmers, this just in from the newswire: POSSIBLE SHARK SIGHTING*| ROCKAWAY BEACH| CLOSING SWIM AREAS AFTER REPORT FROM FISHERMAN FOR A SHARK SIGHTING. You've been warned, Queens. Though most sharks in the area turn out to be tiny, in 2005 Rockaway got a slightly larger creature. For those keeping track, the unofficial start to shark season this year was in July, when a 5-footer was spotted at Jones Beach. If this new shark has any run-ins with a banana boat, we'll update.

The shark clearly knew it was almost Labor Day and therefore he had to make an appearance soon.

Sharks need to eat too you know. But If I were them I'd swim down to the south near Texas. They have far more meat on them.
