Choice!

My parents on their honeymoon were out somewhere paddling around in a dinghy (whhy??), and got the fright of their life when a killer whale popped up to say hello beside them... Because this was back on the 80s and no one knew anything, they shat themselves and paddled to shore asap, regrettably.

I gotta be honest, if I was out paddling around in a dinghy and an orcha popped up beside me, I'd be trying to get some serious distance between us as well!
