Better to jump into shark infested waters than to try and patch a sinking ship
Except the point of the cartoon is that they don't want to patch that sinking ship.
Better in a slowly sinking ship than to be torn apart by sharks. Even if the people in the ship are ignoring it's sinking.
And ironically depending on the boat's construction it may fill with water and still maintain some buoyancy. Or only half the boat will fill. The boat will be a lot worse, but still provide a barrier to the sharks
Ahhh cool dude. Better to slowly sink into the shark infested waters than to just crash the boat.
Don't do anything to fix the hole or anything.
A slowly sinking boat gives me more time to breathe and therefore more time to fix it.
Being in shark infested waters gives me neither of those things.
It's very basic self preservation.
Also don't pretend the ship was crashed. It wasn't it was just straight into shark infested waters. If crash was an option I'd pick it.
