Coconuts vs. Shark Attacks!


From Nikki F: Dear Cecil:

Boortz pointed this out a couple of weeks ago. Under normal conditions there are more people where coconuts are than where sharks are. The math is on the side of the coconuts.
Like he pointed out, how would it sound: "HEEELP! I'm being mauled by a coconut!!"
