The Shit Shark


The shit shark lives on!!!





















This shot is only funny to me. When we bought my trailer it had been sitting for awhile and some of the plumbing seals needed to be replaced. Being the amazing super dad that he is he decided to take the whole toilet out and clean it up. After running errands in town Mom and I came home to this. I think he was regretting his thoughtful gesture the whole time. Whats even funnier is the guy I bought the trailer from mentioned in conversation he was part Navajo Indian and German. So the joke began with me saying "cleaning out the toilet eh?" dad "yeah and it's the worst kind German Navajo!".
