DURING
THE TOUR, I SHOW THE QUARANTINE TANK TO THE GUESTS. THIS MONTH
IT’S FULL OF VENOMOUS CREATURES, WHO MUST WAIT THIRTY DAYS
BEFORE WE CAN INTRODUCE THEM TO THE POPULATION. EVERY CAUTION
MUST BE TAKEN NOT TO INTRODUCE ANY DISEASE TO OUR FRIENDS HERE
AT RIPLEYS. |

LATER
IN THE DAY I GET TO FEED THE SHARKS. AFTER SEEING THEIR JAWS, I
FEED THE ONE POUND PIECES OF FISH TO THEM, WITH AN ARM EXTENSION. |
I
FINISH MY DAY OFF WITH A SWIM IN THE “CORAL REEF”
DIVE SHOW. EVERY DAY AT 6:00 PM, THE STAFF EDUCATES THE GUESTS
ON THE HABITS OF VARIOUS SEA CREATURES ON THE REEF. I DECIDED
TO DIVE WITH THEM AND SOON FOUND THE HARDEST PART OF THE DIVE
WAS GETTING IN THE WET SUIT. |

THE
NEXT DAY IT’S AN EARTH DAY CELEBRATION ON THE AQUARIUM PLAZA
AND I VOLUNTEERED TO WORK THE STAFF’S BOOTH EDUCATING THE
PUBLIC ON THE PROBLEMS OF COMMERCIAL OVERFISHING. I HAD A GREAT
TIME AT RIPLEY’S IN THE SMOKEYS, AND I INVITE EVERBODY TO
SHARE THE SAME GOOD TIME I HAD A RIPLEYS.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT!
