What shark warning sign?

2011 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Tourist to South Africa reasond that all warning sings are for South African people only. So he prceded to become a much photographed victim and at-risk servivor. He fed the shark all of his right leg below the knee, and I mean directly below the knee. He was taken to hospital and will survive. Graphic photo's of this incident can bee seen in a local magazine (Bi-lingual) You/Huisgenoot. The moral of the story, all signs are aimed at all people at all times for YOUR SAFETY! Please note people contending for Darwin Awards need not heed.

Definitely Toss: Lacks Excellence
Thanks, Gerhard, but we have lots of stories involving idiots ignoring warning signs, swimming where they shouldn't be, etc. This also sounds a lot like a duplicate of a story we received multiple times a couple months back.
