About this Quote

This quote by Dave Barry is a humorous contrast between sharks and football fans in Chicago. He is recommending that sharks are as difficult as the football fans who brave the cold weather and take their shirts off during games in January. However, he is likewise suggesting that sharks are more intelligent than these football fans. This contrast is implied to be amusing, as it is unlikely that football fans would be willing to take their t-shirts off in the cold weather of Chicago in January. It is likewise unlikely that sharks are more smart than people. The quote is suggested to be humorous and lighthearted, and it is a creative way of comparing 2 seemingly unrelated things.
