His motto was to be fearless and if something prevented him from doing that, then he was going to fake it.  If he was a shark, nobody would ever bother him and he could do whatever he desired.  Sharks are the ones that do the messing around with everyone else, but they seem to steer clear of dolphins, because they don’t want to get rammed by their snouts.  Dolphins and sharks are often confused for one another because of their streamlined bodies and dorsal fins on their backs.  If he had a dorsal fin on his back, then he could pretend that he was a shark and hope that no dolphin would come along and try to ram him.
