At least you have sea life. In any case, if any sharks tried to get NEAR the Jersey Shore, they'd die of sewage poisoning. Natural defense mechanism for us, don't y'know?
To quote George Carlin:
"When I was a little boy, we swam in the Hudson River, and it was filled with Raw Sewage. We swam in raw sewage, you know, TO COOL OFF. When polio cam around, no one in my neighborhood ever got polio, you know why? BECAUSE WE SWAM IN RAW SEWAGE! It strengthened our immune systems! The polio never had a prayer. We were tempered in raw sh*t! My immune system is equipped with the biological equivalet of fully automatic assault rifles with night vision and lazer scopes. And we have recently acquired phosphorus grenades, cluster bombs, and anti-personnel fragmentation mines. SO when my white blood cells are on patrol reconnoitering my blood stream, seeking out strangers and other undesireables, if they see any, ANY suspicious-looking germs of any kind, they DON'T F*CK AROUND! They whip out the weapons, wax the mother f*cker and deposit the unlucky fellow directly into my colon! There's no nonsense, there's no miranda warning, none of that three strikes and you're out sh*t...First offense, BAM! Into the colon you go!"
