Salesmanship in action:
Egyptian minister says it’s safe to swim despite German tourist being eaten by a shark

*Tourism minister insists diving will continue because ‘sharks will not attack divers’

…..unless they get hungy again.

* Foreign Office warns Britons to avoid cheap dive tour operators

Yeah, they’re real sharks

* Thomson and First Choice warn holidaymakers to stay out of the water

WE aren’t going to jump the shark.

* Just days earlier officials claimed they had caught two deadly predators

The Amity police are on the job, thanks to mayor Larry.

* Four holidaymakers injured in shark attacks last week

So? There must be thousands of tourists who haven’t been attacked…..yet.

* Killer shark may have been attracted to waters by dead cattle and sheep thrown overboard before Islamic feast of Eid al-Adha

Ahh, the plot thickens. I knew Muslim customs would figure in this somehow. Hey, lefties blamed Bush for the Nigerian e-mail scams, so there!

Egyptian officials have insisted it is safe for tourists to go back into the water despite a 70-year-old German woman being killed in Sharm el-Sheikh after another shark attack.

“Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?”
