A blog about, among other things, imaginary ideas - What ifs? and Imagine thats. What if photographs looked nothing like what we see with our eyes? Imagine that the Berlin Wall had never come down. What if we were the punchline of an interminable joke? All contributions welcome.
Just because we haven't caught a fish looking cheerful is no reason to conclude they're never cheerful. They just look dismayed when we're around is all. And who'd blame them?
ReplyDeleteBarracuda have a rather disconcerting grin. And you'll notice it, too, if you're snorkeling around them and you have jewelry on your fingers.
ReplyDeleteMy father used to keep koi carp. All his free time was spent turning the back garden into a series of ponds. The poor fish were constantly falling sick and dying of the multitude of woes to which fish are subject.
ReplyDeleteMy father would often force my sister & myself to bury them alive. The fish didn't look happy about this and neither did we.
