When: January 10	Where: 🌐 Everywhere	First occurrence: ❓🦈💋
We haven’t found out yet who created this daring holiday, but there is a suspicion that a certain florida-man, Dave Marcel, might have been the inspiration. For years he had been scuba diving with tourist guiding them into kissing nurse sharks. Then one day a shark bit him on the lips! Despite severe pain and elaborate stitches he resumed his shark-kissing job after recovery. Unknown is how the sharks felt about this.
