My wife told me about a show she watched on one of those Nature cable channels. It was all about this guy who took tourists out with him while he fed sharks. He’d get the sharks to jump right up to the boat’s deck to eat the bait. One day he decided he wanted to pet one of the sharks (hey, it’s his arm). Something unusual happened, though. He discovered that when he hit the shark in just the right place on the head it went into a trance-like stupor for several minutes.
And I thought to myself, wouldn’t that be nice if you could do that to your boss?
