_Free 5’ palstic shark instructions_\*  
Step 1. Capture live 5’ shark  
Step 2. Coat captured shark in liquid latex  
Step 3. Allow latex to dry  
Step 4. Carefully peel latex coating off captured shark  
Step 5. Release captured shark into sewer system, thereby perpetuating an urban legend

Works every time. Of course, your latex shark will be inside out, but who’ll know?  
[sub]\*does not include cost of transportation to and from nearest shark infested waters, hospital bills, animal cruelty fines, or cigarettes for trading with other inmates.
