SHARK ATTACK Meeting

A town meeting happened tonight to discuss the closing of the beach in light of the two recent deaths linked to shark attacks. Mrs. Kitner has put up a $3,000.00 reward for anyone who kills “the shark.”
“Will the beaches be closed?” she asked Police Chief Martin Brody as soon as the meeting got underway.
He stopped what he was talking about, hiring additional summer deputies and having shark spotters on the beach, and said “Yes.”
The town meeting was in an uproar. Yes, after the deaths of two innocent young people, the people of this town were still appalled to have the beach closed in fear of losing customers to our small beach town.
“Only 24 hours,” said the mayor as he hit his gavel.
“I didn’t agree to that,” argued Police Chief Brody.
“Only 24 hours,” hissed the mayor, despite having two deaths in the last 24 hours happen related to the beaches.
From the back of the meeting room came the horrid screech of nails on chalk. The people at the meeting turned around to find Mr.Quintt, a long time local fisherman, sitting in a chair.
“You all know [me],” he said. He said he could kill the shark alone, but the price would need to be higher. “I’m fighting for three,” he explained, “but I’m killing for ten. For that you get the head, the tail, the whole d--- thing.”
He asked the board members to consider his offer and then left. Meeting was adjourned.
