Shark Fin Hats

No, not hats for people that look like shark fins, but hats for shark fins!

You see, I saw Louis C.K. recently make a joke about how silly sharks would feel if they knew we could see their fins above the surface of the water when they're coming. And seeing as how sharks are becoming endangered (at least according to conservationists: it might not seem like it when they’re biting you, though), it seems like maybe they need some help with that fin issue so no-one will see them coming. So I was thinking, maybe if a shark could wear a hat over their dorsal fin that looks like a duck swimming, or a person's head who is doing the breast stroke, or something like that, maybe sharks can gain that element of surprise again, and they can get away with sneak attacks again. Or maybe if sharks could wear a hat that looks like a seal's head swimming just above the water, people and other seals would want to come see the seal, and then: chomp! Or, how about, for big sharks, a big hat that looks like a surfer paddling on a surf board? Then people might just swim up to them to say hello, and: chomp! And for the shark who's a fan of Baywatch, how about a fin hat that looks like a distressed swimmer who needs to be saved from drowning: this one could have some moving parts, perhaps attached to wires like a marionette, which enable the shark to wave the arms and splash about by moving their tail and fins. And once the sexy lifeguard jumps in to save the “swimmer”: yum!
