Cup of tea with shark

Shark in Tea by musingtree

We hope you laugh all the way into the beach. Spout off your favorite shark sayings and shark puns before diving in deep.

The sharks will probably think you’re too hilarious to eat.

Plan to avoid the water? Stand on shark lookout and wear your favorite tee to let swimmers know you mean business. Ain’t no toothy sharks taking out swimmers on your watch.

False alarms aren’t cool, either. The shark-dolphin just wants to play.

And if you do meet a shark face-to-face? It can be hard to pick which eye to look into, so we advise avoiding eye contact.
