I once met a petroleum geologist that had a great deal of experience in a 
country where the rivers had piranha, don't remember which one. He said that 
they would go fishing in a river and could feel the piranha brushing against 
their legs as they swam by, but no one was ever attacked.

Did they tell you which of their recent guests were involved?
