A phobia is walking into a room, seeing a ketchup bottle and fleeing the room in fear of your life and not going back into the room until someone can PROVE to you that the ketchup is gone.
The result of being allowed to watch Jaws as many times as I liked when I was about 4 years old.

Seriously - you don't know what I'm like - my mates have me on camera being held down with the stuff - and believe me I was screaming - it goes right through me, you know, the consistency of it and the smell and the way the light shines off it and stuff - urgh - I've never actually tasted it - don't want to. I can smell it on my clothes for hours after simply standing in Maccys - it makes me shiver - seriously - you don't understand!! (strangely - i love tomatos!)

Did you know that the power in a Great White Sharks jaw can exert biting pressure of several tonnes per square centimetre?
Getting bitten by such a powerful beast is like getting cut up by a hundred knives moving with the momentum of a Ford Jeep at 60mph.
And yet it causes no pain at all.
