    Spoons kill more people than sharks in a year. 10 vs 6 on average.

    Don't know if I should be less afraid of sharks, or more afraid of spoons

    I have numerous t-shirts. Some were given to me as a remembrance from Uncle Sam. They cover the period from Vietnam to Desert Storm and a couple of 'exotic' places in between.
