Shark Bait Quotes & Sayings

Okay, let's recap.
So I lost a few good things, but wait;

It has a few cracks
And a couple of shark bites,
But it's alright.

Had I guns (as I had goods) to work my Christian harm.

I had run him up from the quarter deck to trade with his own yard-arm;

I had nailed his ears to my capstan-head, and ripped them off with a saw,

And soused them in the bilgewater, and served them to him raw;

I had flung him blind in a rudderless boat to rot in the rocking dark,

I had towed him aft of his own craft, a bait for his brother shark;

I had lapped him round with cocoa husk, and drenched him with the oil,

And lashed him fast to his own mast to blaze above my spoil;

I had stripped his hide for my hammock-side, and tasseled his beard in the mesh,

And spitted his crew on the live bamboo that grows through the gangrened flesh. — Rudyard Kipling

Wondering where the Mokians get all those shark teeth? Well it involves using children who read the last pages of books first as bait. — Brandon Sanderson
