"as planked as a salmon"

Sounds fishy to me.

Sorry about the beers. Let me atone. KEEP. A round on the house!

What? It's yer fault fer servin me too much, Max.

What? Yeah. I was tripped. But, I'd a skipped over it if I was sober so the house should pay.

Hey! What are you doin? I don't see why... okay, I'll leave. Calm down. I know when to shut up. I am not one to go on and on. Why, once, my old man told me to shut up. Damn near starved to death. Wouldn't tell him I was hungry.

(Apologies to Foghorn Leghorn fer stealin that joke.)
