You’re going to need a bigger gag.

Roger Ebert’s review of Jaws 3: “What happened in Jaws? The shark died. What happened in Jaws 2? The shark died. What happens in Jaws 3? Well, what do you think happens?”

If it makes you feel any better, it was a mechanical shark. No sharks were harmed in the making of Jaws.

Good morning, Crew!

Yeah—like Lincoln jokes. Still too soon.

Fifty years? Wow, where does the time go.

I remember being to young to see Jaws at the theatre (I was 12) so I got the book and read it by the pool.

Halfway through the book, it was hot, so into the pool I jumped.

I ended up having my first panic attack, and got out as fast as I could. I stayed out all that summer.

I stayed out of The POOL. That’s how much the book scared me. When I finally saw the movie, I stayed only ankle deep the the Gulf.

Reading about the woman who lost both hands to a shark in the DR a couple of weeks ago, I feel safe in saying that I made the right choice.

Cue the Jaws music!!

Good morning Crew, and my Captain when he gets here!

50 years!?! OMG, where DID the time go? I remember reading the book and then seeing the movie.
