Friday Wisdom – Fish

Posted on 07/07/2023 by Andrew Reynolds

We’re having fish tacos for lunch. Here’s everything I know about fish:

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he won’t bother you for days.

I can tune a violin, but I can’t tuna fish.

I’ve never seen a fish cry, but I’ve seen a whale blubber.

It’s easy to weigh fish – they have their own scales.

Fish are very smart. Well, most live in schools.

Never fight an octopus, they’re too well armed.

What is a fish without and eye? A fsh

Why do fish swim in schools? ummm, fish can’t walk.

Why did the fish get bad grades? It was below sea level.

Fish don’t play basket ball – they’re terrified of nets.

I don’t get it – why are octopus arms called tentacles when there are only eight of them?

The pizza place just hired a lobster to work at the curst station.

I saw a new film about fishing – it had a very good cast.

    The “tuna” reminded me of my high school days and REO Speedwagon. 🙂 Good memories. Have a great week!

    Thanks for letting me know I shouldn’t fight an octopus. I don’t want to eat one either. Tried it once. Ewww.

    This week’s favourite, for me, is the one about “Give a man a fish” and “Teach a man to fish”.
    Mind you, my own belief is that angling was invented so that men can avoid spendinjg time with their wives at the weekend.

    Tuning a violin is quite challenging. I’m impressed.
