I was half watching one of those Planet Earth shows, about the deep ocean, and toward the end of it, I wandered into the office to go online, continuing to sort of listen.
I barely noticied that somehow the subject switched to sharks, but did pick up on the narrator saying something like "out in the wide, empty ocean, there is no place to hide from the white tip shark" in a menancing way.
I thought "well, I got a solution, don't go out into the wide empty ocean" Then I was idly musing that only an idiot would actually get into the water and look for those sharks.
I looked over at the TV screen, which can be seen from the office, and a vaguely familiar gesture caught my eye....
It was my ex- husband, wearing a wet suit, having just come out of the shark invested waters and telling the camera man how exciting that was.
I'll tell ya, if i saw my ex-husband coming out of shark-infested waters, i'd toss him back . . . the bastard!
@chai2,
Low, I'd say.
Though sharks ARE popular.
Well, unless attacking one, then not so much.

the man is a sociopath, and put me in physical danger, more times than I'd care to remember.
I was more concerned/interested that he had someone induced a whole new group of people to believe his line of bullshit.
Mo would give his right arm (har har) for a chance to swim with sharks.
Seriously. That boy does love sharks.
@boomerang,
yeah, until one bites him in half.

wait, in mo's defense, I have to somewhat explain that.
let me just say I would do everything in my power to keep my ex-husband away from mo, or any child.
I would be terrified what he would turn that child into.
It's fine that mo has a great interest in sharks. However, you or your husband would not actively pursue putting mo in a shark cage, and putting him into shark infested waters.
My ex would.
Oh my.
Is your ex husband named Glenn?
I had one of those.
Freaky bastard.
If I saw him on TV though it would be for a great reward from americas most wanted and i would be first in line to help them find him.
Geez, and I'm worried about running into my ex at the grocery store.

Actually, we would let him do it under the right circumstances. It is a lot safer than riding in a car and he does that pretty much everyday.
But I know that the true danger (and lack thereof) of sharks isn't the point of this thread so I'll stop now.
"What are the odds?" indeed!
Look at it this way, Chai. He's in good company.
Personally, I would be thrilled to learn that my ex was swimming with sharks.
I can't think of many places I'd rather imagine him.
Now I understand the phrase "swimming with the fishes" Seems to be a woman thing.
@chai2,
So, I'm minding my own business, reading my trashy magazine on the bus coming home, when I discover on article on
the original Wally. I always thought he'd be someone famous, but this, this is amazing!
@chai2,
The odds that he would do that and the odds it would be filmed and the odds that it would ever make it to tv and the odds that you'd hear it.. izzat 4 degrees?
@ehBeth,
'Splains a lot, doesn't it, Bethie?!
Who wudda ever guessed
