Chew on this, BotWorld.

"Step right up, ladies and gents! Who wants to stick their hand in the shark tank?"
"What are you, nuts? The hell kind of show is this?"
"The kind where we separate regular people from brain-dead idiots. You gonna stick your hand in the tank?"
"Is there really a shark in there?"
"See that fin in the water? That ain't Flipper, pal."
"And if I put my hand in there, it'll bite it off?"
"Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe he's not hungry right now. Put your hand in, take a chance. Only a dollar."
"You must think I'm really stupid."
"I think everyone's really stupid. It's how I make my living. Prove me wrong or prove me right. The choice is up to you."
"Hey...is that a leg?"
"Yeah. Cow leg. Warms up the crowd."
"No. Over there, in the corner."
"Oh, that leg. Oops. Better fish that out'a there. Bad for business."
"You mean people actually do stick their hands in the tank?"
"And sometimes get dragged in. Especially on slow days. Bruce gets hungry. Or maybe just bored."
"You give the money back, right?"
"No. You paid to stick your hand in a tank with a live shark in it. You were warned ahead of time. It's a legal transaction."
"Are people really that stupid?"
"We live in a country where half the population made a psycho con man President because they saw him on a reality TV show. What do you think?"
"How are you doing financially?"
"I work about eight months out of the year and clear around $12,000 a month. And I don't even have to feed the shark."
Special brownie points if you understood the meaning of "Bruce the shark." AI won't get the reference.
