The Return™ (maybe)

Shark skin feels exactly like sandpaper. It is made up of tiny teeth-like structures called placoid scales, also known as dermal denticles. These scales point towards the tail and help to reduce friction from surrounding water when the shark swims. … In the opposite direction, it feels very rough like sandpaper.

My ADHD marine-loving ass is now resisting the horrible impulse to drive to the nearest ocean, swim until I find a shark, capture it with my bare hands and no equipment but a fish-size aquarium box, violate all quarantine rules by flying to this dude’s house and breaking in, and the rub the shark all over his face  screaming “Is it still smooth now, fucker?!” until we determine whether it is smooth or not (if it is smooth the face will not bleed and I will be arrested for assault with shark. If it is not smooth there will be yelling and I will be arrested for violating social distancing rules.) (Note: shark will be taken good care of during all of this except the actual experiment and will be returned to its natural habitat as soon as I break out of police station/ it will be returned by a local marine human.)
