“We don’t belong in the ocean.”
So today in the sales office, the topic of discussion was Steve Irwin’s death by sting ray. This naturally led to one co-worker’s statement that “We don’t belong in the ocean.”
Think about it. Can you breath underwater? Are you a fish? Exactly. You don’t belong in the ocean. Get out of there. She’s very firm about her philosophy and nothing you say will change her mind.
UPDATE: The subject arose again at lunch with a different set of people. I learned that she holds these beliefs “from the core of her being,” and that the last time she went swimming in the ocean was on spring break with her girlfriends in Mexico.

“... and she still regrets it, to this day!”
What about “on the ocean,” as in boats? I would think that since most fish are very healthy for you, surely she would allow for fisherman to go out on boats, so long as they never go swimming.
Actually she singled out fishing as an appropriate activity. Because you’re on land (or in the boat if that’s the case) and the fish are in the water. That is how things are supposed to be. I didn’t ask if you’re allowed to take the fish out of the water. I did find out that flying was ok, even though God did not give us wings. That is because flying helps us get places.
that really is the best thing i have heard in a while.
