“Whoa, you guys, another guy got stabbed by a stingray!”
“Another guy?”
“Yeah, you know, like the crocodile hunter did?”
“Oh, right.”
“Some 80 year old-“
“What?! No way, there’s no 80-year-old scuba diver.”
“He wasn’t diving, he was in his boat and the stingray flew out of the water and landed in the boat and while he was trying to help it back into the water, it speared him!!”
“That’s not true. It’s some old man’s fable. He made it up or imagined it… What, you want me to believe a stingray flew into his boat and attacked him? No way. How would it launch itself out of the water?”
“Hey, the ocean is deep. It could get a running start! You know, like this…” [demonstration of stingray swimming rapidly towards surface]
Sputtered out while the rest of those present collapse into hysterical laughter:
“A running start? We’re talking about a fish here.”
