Jaws Quotes

“Brody felt a shimmy of fear skitter up his back. He was a very poor swimmer, and the prospect of being on top of—let alone in—water above his head give him what his mother used to call the wimwams: sweaty palms, a persistent need to swallow, and a ache in his stomach—essentially the sensation some people feel about flying. In Brody's dreams, deep water was populated by slimy, savage things that rose from below and shredded his flesh, by demons that cackled and moaned.”

“You can’t be princesses all your life,” Mrs. Shaw said. Joanna Shaw tried to smooth things over (with Robert's daughters). “Your father and I are just used to it, that’s all,” she told the girls. “At least you have a private bathroom. We had to share an outhouse with two toilets when we were your age.” The girls’ eyes opened wide. They could not understand why there would be two toilets in one room, but to Joanna it seemed completely normal. “It was all we had,” she said. “We kept each other company. We chatted while we pooped.”

“Son of Jaws: Final Flush by Stewart Stafford The toilet monster is dead, He’d been looking flushed, A plunger sucked its face off, I don’t miss it, I’m not pushed. The innocent never had a clue, Sat on the porcelain throne seat, They'd kissed their backsides goodbye, Derrières on rows of razor teeth. A call of nature, but none returned, After closing the bathroom locks, Shoes and knickers found later, Twisted around frantic socks. The awful beast left the building, No critiques of the notorious dead, But words can't describe the relief, When I sit down now to use the head. © 2025, Stewart Stafford. All rights reserved.”
