JennyO, do I detect a subtle similarity between this thread title and another one that shall remain nameless? If so, my compliments on your creativity.

But as for fish stories-thanks, but no thanks...


Best wishes,

Azizi

Azizi - guilty as charged :-) Something a bit fishy about this thread.

Actually back in the Dark Ages when I was married, we did go out in a little boat and do a fair bit of fishing off the reef, and a few interesting stories did come out of that. But I have to go out now, so I'll "catch" up later. Here's a little fish song to go on with:


The Fish Song (I Lobster and Never Flounder) - Pinkard and Bowden

I was the cook, ----she was the waitress
Down at Salty Sams seafood cafe
Somewhere between the clam juice and the seaweed salad
some little shrimp... lured her away

Oh, I Lobster, n' never Flounder
He wrapped his line around her
and they drove off in his Carp
Oh, I Lobster n' never Flounder
I Octopus his face in, Eel only break her heart.

I said "just Squid and leave me for that piano Tuna
If you want to Trout something new"
She was the Bass I ever had and my life has no Porpoise
Oh my Cod, I love her, yes I do

Oh, I Lobster, n' never Flounder
He wrapped his line around her
and they drove off in his Carp
Oh, I Lobster n' never Flounder
I Octopus his face in, Eel only break her heart.

Boy, I sword fish she'd come back to me!
I'd show her a whale of a time
You know, I've kelped her picture in my walleye just for the halibut
I wonder if she kelpt mine in her perch?

Yes I said perch. Some of you are looking at me like you are losing your herring
I think I'm getting a haddock!
Well, I bass quit sea horsing around or you folks will go into a state of shark!'
If I get out of here alive — it'll be a mackerel.
"Frankly scallop, I don't give a clam"

Oh, I Lobster, n' never Flounder
He wrapped his line around her
and they drove off in his Carp
Oh, I Lobster n' never Flounder
I Octopus his face in, Eel only break her heart.

If you listen really carefully, you can hear the groan where you are!

Aah, now that I've taken the Babel Fish out of my ear, I do believe I can hear some groaning coming from the North - maybe a little high pitched laughing mayhaps?

And do I hear the flush of a distant toilet?

Not to mention Lobster Barbie: The Tale of Lobster Barbie

The books by the way are all worth a read.


I've also run across some erotic digital images of pearl divers and cuttlefish from a contemporary Japanese artist if anyone has a purient interest.

Cheerily,

Ole and Lena had been married a couple of years, and wanted
children, but nothing was happening. Finally Lena went in for
a medical checkup. After examining her, the doctor said, "I'm
sorry to tell you this, but you have a clinical deficiency, and
if you ever have a baby it will be a miracle.

Ole came home that evening to find Lena crying her eyes out,
and gently asked why.

"Oh, Ole", she replied, "The doctor says I have a fish in me, and
if I ever have a baby it will be a mackerel."
