It is physically impossible to have a USPS Small Priority Flat Rate Box that is over the weight limit
In the 70s, the US Navy was worried about sharks, and wanted to know how angry sharks act. So they got some divers to go and make sharks angry on film. Which...ok then.
Simpler times. I wonder who was tasked with that and did so because they were told by their employer to do so. Because my black ass? I don't care what you're paying or what benefits you're offering; I'm not jumping into the ocean to piss off sharks. Court marshal me, dishonorable discharge, etc., I can still keep "not having been eaten by a shark" on my resume which is oddly #1 on my list of things on my resume. ("Not having been gang raped in prison" is a close #2.) #LifeGoals.
There is a thing called a fish pump and it's used to pump fish. Live fish.

In sad news I found out the Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show, which ran from 1960 to 2000, has more or less been lost to time. While a lot, possibly the majority, of shorts and individual Merrie Melodies cartoons have been preserved to date, the BBaTS itself was cancelled after Cartoon Network bought all the rights, and they never released any sort of collection. Luckily, a lot of the show was made up of other previously produced cartoons just packaged into 30 or 60 minute chunks, so they can be found. However, those cartoons that where specifically produced for the BBaTS were never rereleased in any other format, and seem to be lost or are gathering dust in the Cartoon Network vault.
Probably not a huge loss. Those old shows tended to get pretty samey. I mean, do you really need to watch Elmer Fudd chase Bugs and Daffy around for the 47th time?
Ok, I can respect that. But - hear me out - You'd also be turning down putting "Professional Shark Puncher" on your resume, which would be quite the kickass ice breaker.
Socially: "Ladies...Believe it or not, when the lifeguards see a shark, they call me."
Professionally: "Yes, ma'am. It was a government contract. Our country needed someone who could remain cool and professional under stress, and I answered the call. Wasn't sure whether that counted as a Veteran in the pre-screening"
There is no vagina great enough that I would intentionally piss off sharks to partake of.
There is no job that pays enough that I would intentionally piss off sharks to partake of.
Makes sense; this cure for tiredness is the exact, physiological reaction of someone tired of some bullshit.
If you are in avalanche country, the US Army recommends (or used to) that you trail a special long string with distance and direction markers every 10 feet behind you, in the hope of it not being buried if you are and allowing people to find you easier.
What being pure Zen sounds like
Kudos to the air traffic controller's competence of course, but holy shit, that passenger on the plane doesn't even sound very concerned.
