My hand in a piranha tank.
Author notes
I'm not functionally retarded! (: I did this when I was young. The tank was open and on perfect eye level for a little kid, with colorful fish, and an incredibly tempting sign that read "WARNING! KEEP OUT. PIRANHAS." So I stuck my hand in. (: Luckily Mom was standing nearby and I still have ten fingers.

AHAHAHHA!
Oh my gosh great! It reminds meof my Year 8 graduation trip with my friends! We were on a mini-putt putt course and Nicole knocked her ball into the pond and we went to go get it and we were actually going to send Ethan in to get it but we saw this sign that read:
"Please stay out of pond! As part of an effort to protect the fading of animal species, we have piranhas in this pond!"
We were all scared after that xD -
-
Did they seriously have piranhas? That is so retarded! Mini putt is supposed to be "family friendly." Someone needs to tell the regional manager that piranhas are not family friendly!! (:

Its family friendly until uncle Herb irritates you, then you just toss him in the pond xD
No but seriously, I don't think piranhas are even allowed in Cali xD So I doubt it, but I wasn't gonna take my chances -

HAHAHA!! Loved the Uncle Herb bit (: Depending on his personality, tossing him in the pond might be just what the family needs.
That reminds me of a sign near my house. "No trespassing, trespassers will be shot." And in Sharpee someone wrote, "Survivors will be shot again."

Oh, wow. This is just classic, except no one else would do it. Wow. Did they look like pirahnas? I always imagine them as the cartoon type in loony toons.... and all that. Hahaha
Great though, Thanks. Wow.
KEEP WRITING!!!

Well it's classic Bee. I don't really remember what they looked like but they weren't like the ones in Ice Age. They were little and colorful and really friendly-looking

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!
That had me laughing out loud (one loud HA!) and then just smiling widely
but as I sit back and type AND think about it, I laugh -quietly though
You are crazier than I am, I believe and that is a good thing 
and it's cute 
a perfect story to tell your kids (when you have them) and why it's always important to read labels and heed warnings
I think Piranhas are smaller hungrier sharks
*is so tempted to applaude but you might just stick your hand in again just for the knack of it*

Thanks!! (: Love your new s/n. I won't stick my hand in again, I promise. I've grown into a modicum of common sense. Howevr I do intend to swim with sharks before I die.

OK I believe that you are not functionally retarded. But it is STRANGE!!!!! No offense dude. It's good though! stuffalupigous! that's my word!

Trust me I know. Most kids know not to stick their hand in a piranha tank. It's one of those things just imprinted in your mind at brith like how to scramble eggs or not to play with bulls

hehehe, pretty hilarious. Did the piranhas bite your hand? Pretty painful!
-
-
No. They started swimming toward the surface but my mom was fast and snatched my hand out of there (:
