When Woodleg Wilson told it today, the shark was much bigger!

Mr. Wilson reminds me of Harry, a worldly cruiser, collecting all sorts of sea-related items, one of them ivories of a shark. For many many years he hosted a bizarre bazar in a huge basement in Hamburg. Visitors almost never bought anything, but they paid to hear his stories...

Brilliance, as usual! This is so charming. I just love your ideas - there's always a little twist; it's one of things I love most about your work.
