Fish Man

[Daskinor]

I have seen this behavior once. The gentleman in question was undergoing chemo therapy and could not keep anything richer than brown rice down.

So he go out and order his favorite food, in this case pie and not eat it. Only to feel more 'normal'.

[Sparky]

I would have been sorely tempted to pretend I didn't recognize Mr. Fishy.

"Oh, I'm SO sorry sir! I can't believe we've run out of fish. But we've had so many orders. You won't believe this, but there's this one guy who comes in here several times a week and buys fish and chips but doesn't eat it! He wastes so much food. If we hadn't had to waste all that nice fish on him, we'd have still had plenty to serve you."

Next time, wrap his food and put in the freezer. Mark it so no one throws it out. When he orders it again, take it out, heat it up and plop it in the front of him.

Repeat until it falls apart.

This reminds me of a woman who used to call up and dictate an ad she said she wanted to run for an apt. for rent. She'd ask the price, say okay I'll come down in person and pay for it, and the Never. Show. Up. We had a couple of dozen ads on hold for her before my manager told her we weren't going to take her ads anymore if she wasn't going to ever pay for any. She threw a fit (she was a bitch anyway) but finally started actually paying for ads.

This guy sounds like a real catch.

My first impression is that it must have been his wife's favorite meal. Or his son's. He can never have them back, but maybe once a day he can almost feel like they are eating lunch together again...

I've about haddock with the puns in this place.

This made me cry a little...

I did something like this once. I ran a SCUBA shop and rented a guy a speargun. He returned it without the spear and refused to pay for it. He said the line was not set up right and it was our fault. A week later he sends his wife in to rent the gun again. I told her we don't rent spearguns anymore because somebody lost our spear.

Show me something and stop floundering.

[Jay 2K Winger]

Show me something and stop floundering.

Whale, whale, whale, what have we here? I think this thread is jumping the shark.

[XCashier]

Yeah, I think all the crappie puns have sent it floundering. We'd betta get back on track.

[Mr Hero]

SC: So long and thanks for all the fish

I'd have love to have seen his face when she told him that.
