Ok, I'm not scared of most things. Being a male around the house I'm called upon to dispose of all bugs and spiders. I accept this duty and I'm rarely creeped out.
But, for reasons unknown, I'm deathly afraid of sharks, specifically Great White Sharks!!!
Yes, I'll admit my first date with my loving spouse was to see "Jaws" in one of those big theaters in Dallas. We both clung to each as the movie scared the crap out of us
I know others on here don't like sharks either, but I am not just scared, I'm in the "I-won't-even-put-my-feet-in-the-surf" club. I love the beach, I've been on a cruise and walked on the beach at Montego Bay (not today with the hurricane, of course), but you will never get me in the water without a fight.
I know humans have a primal fear of being eaten and a great white could chomp you up in a few bites. Haven't you people see those Natl. Geo. shows about sharks? Holy cow, great whites can leap 10-20 feet out of the water!!! I guess that primal fear is the scariest thing to me. I know other animals could eat me, but the shark is in its natural environment and is a the world's greatest predator.
