A surfer in Hawaii was bitten on the foot by a 10-foot shark Tuesday and might have been more seriously injured -- or worse -- had he not scared the predator away with two stiff blows to the snout, a shark's most sensitive area. Joshua Holley, 28, was paddling off Oahu's North Shore when he felt "a popping sensation" in his foot. When the shark swam to the front of his board, the surfer placed his left hand on the gills of the shark and ounched with his right hand. "And then he just kind of submerged like a submarine and just disappeared,"

I would've just poked both of it's eyes out with 2 fingers, but whateva floats yer boat yo
