Jack Handey Deep Thoughts · on Sharks
“Contrary to what most people say, the most dangerous animal in the world is not the lion or the tiger or even the elephant. It's a shark riding on an elephant's back, just trampling and eating everything they see.”
A mock-authoritative list that ends in a gloriously stupid hybrid monster.

Dave Fulton Interview at Deep Sea World, Edinburgh Fringe, 2011 · on Sharks
Said after comics swam in a shark tank before the Fringe.
“The great thing about swimming with sharks is they can't hold a pen and write a bad review.”
Neat inside-baseball swipe at Fringe critics; low surprise for non-comics.

60Larry the Cable Guy Git-R-Done · on Sharks
On a woman suing everyone because nobody rescued her husband.
“"My husband got his leg bit by a shark and no one jumped in and saved him!" No shit, lady! It's a friggin' shark!”
Blunt common-sense outrage; funny, but the target is obvious.

Bill Engvall Aged and Confused, 2009 · on Sharks
On a family vacation in Costa Rica.
“And she goes "we're going on a shark feeding frenzy!" Okay, wait... we're in a boat looking down in the water? "No, that's the best part! We're in the water with the sharks!"”
Relatable family-vacation panic, more story than punchline.
