In 1941, during a break from diplomatic duties in Palm Beach, Florida, Winston Churchill decided to go skinny-dipping—despite warnings from his bodyguard. While swimming, Churchill encountered a shark, causing him to quickly retreat to the shallows. Ever the wit, Churchill later quipped, “My bulk has frightened him into deeper water!” This odd event would later tie into a discussion in the British Parliament about developing shark repellents. Churchill, of course, had the last word: "You may rest assured that the British government is entirely opposed to sharks."
