Surf's up?

A Californian surfer visiting Australia was having a good time catching the breakers at resorts along the Gold Coast, but wanted a special experience. He wanted to surf a beach where nobody, or almost nobody, goes.

So he gets in the car, drives north. At the first remote beach he hits, he has his board in hand as he's walking toward the water, when one of the locals warns him: "you don't want to be surfing here, mate: there's too many sharks".

So he heeds the warning, and drives to one remote beach after another - and it's always the same warning: there's too many sharks.

Finally, he finds a perfect beach. It's so perfect, film editors would cut it out because the audience would never believe it's real. He asks the first person he meets if there are any sharks here, and was told, no.

Two more locals give him the same answer: no sharks here. So he splashes into the water and paddles out toward the breakers, when the alarm goes off in his head. This is a perfect beach, the water temperature's perfect, the breakers are to die for... and not only are there no surfers, nobody is in the water. Something's got to be wrong.

So he turns his head and cries out to a sunbather catching a tan: "Hey, why aren't there any sharks at this beach?"

And the guy answers: "because they're bloody afraid of the crocodiles, mate!"
