Quiz

You are a grown up (not me for once, even *I* am not *that* scatty). It's feeding time in the dogfish tank You have just purchased a small cup of bait to join in the feeding.
Do you:
Do as the Sealife Centre employee and the children did and take the bait in your hand and chuck it/scatter it?
decide to hand feed a member of he shark family by dangling the chunk of bait in the water with fingers that smell attractively of fish blood and guts?
In the event of your prefered option being 2 for reasons that defy logic and you happen to get bitten do you then:
go to the nearest toilet and thoroughly wash and dry the cuts and discretely ask if the centre have antisceptic and a plaster you can have and maybe check the bite is not venomous/particularly prone to infection?
draw other visitor's attention to your plight, complain bitterly to a very young and incredulous employee and protest "I didn't know they bite"?
If once again you choose option 2, think yourself very lucky the young woman was rather professional and replied "pretty much everything bites and dogfish *do* belong to the shark family" rather than just the "DUH!" we were all thinking quite loudly.
Somewhere a H&S executive shakes his head and weeps knowing he will unjustly be blamed when a "don't stick your hand in the shark tank" is glued in on the side of the aquarium to avoid further incidents, obscuring part of the view.
