What do you call a fish with no eyes?
Fsh!
(BTW dday your clown joke killed at work.)
Two birds sitting on a perch. One says, "can you smell fsh?"
Had to read that one three times before the penny dropped. :)
Only due to food poisoning, no doubt. A joke that old may not be safe even if thoroughly cooked.Quote:

It's the same thing with gar. I can't stand it, they're all boney. But a lot of my black friends go crazy for them. It's weird how some species of fish are specific to an ethnicity or region.
We used to surf fish for perch at the low and high tide of the year.
Three triple hooks on a leader with clam necks as bait.
Often you'd get a fish on each hook. I didn't bother trying to reel them in.
I'd put the pole over my shoulder and walk back to shore dragging them in.
We would haul home two or three gunny sacks full of fillets.
Filleted correctly no bones. Much cleaner tasting than cod.
I don't think we are talking about the same 'perch'. I never saw much of a tide in the freshwater ponds where I caught them.
I agree with the interesting ethnicity of fish preferences. I remember fishing in FL and a Cuban family saw me pull in a fish and asked if I was going to keep it. When I said that I wasn't, they asked me for it. I learned later that I probably should have discussed it with them, as they probably could have told me how to turn it into a tasty meal, as it was a member of the tuna family. Up north, the ethnic fish would be carp...or at least, it used to be. Carp may have fallen out of favor even within ethnic groups, as it's a bit of a garbage hound, and can pick up whatever is dumped into the waters. As the water quality declined, people may have moved away from carp, lest the a and the r be reversed.
Pacific ocean perch (Sebastes alutus)
Habitat: Pacific NorthWest coastal waters.

The perch I know are small and greenish/white.
You gotta catch a bunch to get a good meal.
Momma always said "Don't eat green fish or things that rhyme with pumice."
You could rhyme "dumbass" with pumice if you say it right.
The perch DDay and I are talking about are the Yellow Perch Perca flavescens, and I'm ashamed to admit that I had to look up the scientific name. It's been too long.
I'm pretty sure she was referring to hummus'. *Grin*
Don't trust atoms, they make up everything.
I like to make bad chemistry jokes because all the good ones Argon.
Pavlov? Doesn't ring a bell.
Two chemists walk into a bar.
The first says, "I'll have some H20."
The seconds says, "I'll have some H20 too."
The second one dies.
