Crazy Shark

Today while paddling along the edge of Riverside Park in Manhattan a fellow sitting on a rock on the edge of the water asked me “Have you seen anything interesting in the water?”

“Sure.” I told him.

“Have you seen anything carnivorous?” He asked me.

My crazy detector went off and I didn't slow down to finish the conversation. But answered politely “Not that I know of.”

“I saw a shark over there.” I think he pointed, but past him, I didn't turn around to see.
