Just don't swim with stingrays.

[elionwyr]

Oh, but I so want to swim with manta rays..

[adelheid_p]

Manta rays don't sting so I think it is relatively safer to swim with them. But we are talking about you . . .

[elionwyr]

I want to argue that point, but..

Also, I give you:
The Purist by Ogden Nash

I give you now Professor Twist,
A conscientious scientist,
Trustees exclaimed, "He never bungles!"
And sent him off to distant jungles.
Camped on a tropic riverside,
One day he missed his loving bride.
She had, the guide informed him later,
Been eaten by an alligator.
Professor Twist could not but smile.
"You mean," he said, "a crocodile."

Did I ever meet any of those particular gators? I remember the fox and the raven best, but gators, too.
