This is so Florida!!

1. A shark with good taste?

[Lochloosa]

2. Looks like a nurse shark. No teeth.

More like sandpaper. But they don't let go.

4. And the teeth are small hooks that are pointed inward.

Great for holding on to food, not so good when you mistake an arm for a baby barracuda.

5. Yep. I've felt them

[NV Whino]

3. Well, I was expecting something a bit larger.

7. anything much larger, and there wouldn't be an arm left...

6. cut the head off while still attached.

surgically unhinge the jaw, aka take a knife and split the jaw.

then push the mouth and jaws forward. (while wiggling)

it will still leave a nasty wound but that should remove it.
