A Carribean glass-bottomed tour boat sprung a leak, shortly after which the bottom shattered and all 50 tourists and crew were left floating in the ocean. The boat sank so fast that the captain scarcely got in an S.O.S. call to the Coast Guard.
Soon, sharks began to circle and one by one picked off various members of the tour group and crew. It wasn't long before virtually everyone had been killed or maimed by the attacking sharks, with the exception of one lawyer. When the Coast Guard arrived at the scene, the lawyer generously got the few survivors, all of whom had serious bite wounds and missing limbs, loaded onto the rescue ship before finally allowing himself to be hauled aboard.
The crew of the rescue craft were stunned... literally everyone had been attacked at some level, yet here the lawyer hadn't even gotten a friction burn from the skin of a passing shark--and he'd stayed in the water with the voracious fish until everyone else alive had been saved.
"Good God, man... you must have real faith!" they commented to him.
"Faith?" he said, somewhat confused.
"You were the only one untouched by those maneaters, yet you stayed in the water longer than anyone! Surely your faith had something to do with your not being so much as scratched... why, it's a miracle!"
"Miracle, my ass!" responded the lawyer. "It was professional courtesy."
