A doctor, a lawyer, and an engineer are in a small boat that has run out of fuel not too far offshore, but in shark infested waters.
The occupants of the boat are trying to come up a plan to get help. The minister is busy praying for help. The doctor warns the other two that swimming could be dangerous or deadly and provides details of what the sharks might do to them, but the lawyer insists that he is willing to dive in and swim to shore anyway.
The other two try to discourage him, but he sheds his outerwear and dives in, swimming steadily toward the shore.
He hasn’t gone far when a shark’s fin breaks the surface of the water on his left side and the other men are shouting for him to beware. The lawyer continues on his way as another shark’s fin aligns itself on his right side.
With the two fins flanking him, the lawyer drapes one arm over the left shark and the other over the right side shark, allowing them to carry him to the shore.
Once he arrives there, the lawyer is quickly able to arrange for the rescue of his fellow boaters.
After being reunited with them, the others ask the lawyer how he was able to do such an unusual thing.
He replied, “Professional courtesy.”
