Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for July 20, 2017

So he carefully unscrewed the fifty screws of the iron grating, inhaled some fresh water, skinned the shark, dressed the shark’s skin, and walked out of the pool among his captors, unseen

‘Funny thing this shark’, one of the captors said, ‘I had never noticed before that it has a pair of legs, not to mention the feet, which are also full of fingers, ant the fingers full of nails, and the nails full of… and the nails’

Tarzan wonders if his cordless DeWalt drill with the Phillips-head attachment will work under water.

Tarzan comes to the surface: Hey you guys, I’m gonna be here a while. Why don’t you go get some coffee and come back in about an hour.

Say “Shark Sushi” three times fast.

If it was Lee Falk’s Phantom, he’d have carved a skullmark on that shark to spook the fellows above… :-P

Fresh water? Don’t they mean salt water?

I think they mean “fresh, salt water” … or, the grate allowed water exchange with the ocean, but prevented the shark (god) from escaping.

A much needed breather? Why didn’t Tarzan just call a time out like in other sports?

Shark killing is derived from futbol, no timeouts…
