"Dolphins are gay sharks"

Post Reply New Topic

I've heard people say that dolphins are gay sharks.

And chimps...are just a bunch of pansies!

But seriously...if folks around you say that, and seriously believe it...then you should start hanging out with folks who are other than brain dead!

It doesn't even work as a joke. Its true the Flipper is a lot nicer an animal than Jaws. But orcas (aka "killer whales') are a type of porpoise. And orcas are as bad ass as you can get! In fact there was a news story a couple years ago about folks observing an orca kill and eat a great white off the shores of San Diego.

So... take THAT Jaws!

They're not even the same species.  Dolphins are mammals and sharks are fish.

People are still using a very broad definition for the word "gay"?

Then how come dolphins mate with other dolphins of the opposite sex? I mean, some of them might be homosexual, but if they all were that would be the end of their species basically.

Also dolphins can be really violent and cruel to their own species and to other living things.

And they are also carnivores because they eat fish, squid, and sometimes other aquatic mammals. And yet no one thinks of them as bloodthirsty predators. My guess is that it's because dolphins are "cute", like dogs and cats.

Dolphins also attack and kill sharks by ramming into the shark's gills with their beaks. I even once saw Flipper do this to a shark on TV.

Different "species" is an understatement.

Not the same species (both sharks and dolphins come in dozens of species each),not the same genera, not the same family, not the same order, and most important...not the same class (mammals are a class, and fish are a class).

It would be like saying "humans are gay alligators".

Sounds credible.

Orcas are just the bears.
And Kanye will eventually turn back into a dolphin and swim away once he starts to crave fish sticks in his mouth again.

I used to hear such statements back in high school. The absurdity of it always amused me. Almost everything was referred to as gay. One time I heard someone refer to a bunch of balloons as gay. So I asked them "How can you tell?"

Admittedly I have some fun coming up with responses. I hear such statements less often these days. Occasionally I'll be hanging out with someone and they'll say "lol that kind of animal/object/subject is gay", then they'll abruptly stop and say "Oh wait, I'm so sorry, I forgot that you're gay, no offense". That sudden look of oh no I messed up usually makes me laugh. It takes me by surprise whenever this happens with someone that I haven't come out to directly.

Sure. The same way that an octopus is just an aquatic spider.

ever seen that movie "shark tale"?

That the one with the horrifying Will Smith fish face?

Dolphins turn pink when horny. True story. Case closed.

Big deal, you should see what colour I turn.

Flamingos are pink. Shrimp are pink. Pigs can be pink. Humans can be pink. Just because something is pink doesn't means it's feminine or gay. It's a color, that's all.

Flamingoes are pink because shrimp are pink.

Most baby animals are pink too!

Pink and hairless.
