Millions, indeed, and a good portion of them waiting to have you for dinner. Just be cautious.

Like **chilidogg** said (an excerpt from Jimmy Buffet’s _Fins_):

Feels like a remora  
School’s still close at hand  
Just behind the reef are the big white teeth  
The sharks that swim on the land

Chorus:  
Can’t you feel ‘em circlin’, honey  
Can’t you feel ‘em schoolin’ around  
Fins to the left, fins to the right  
You’re the only bait in town  
Hey you got fins to the left, fins to the right  
You’re the only girl in town

“Oh I wish I was a Catfish  
swimmin’ in the deep blue sea.  
I’d have all the pretty womens  
fishin’ after me, lord, fishin’ after me.”-- Catfish Blues
