Here is a snippet of a conversation I was having with my friend Justin, or "Ding" as he is better known (part of his Chinese name). Ding just got a job working at PetCo and today was his first day selling fish. So I asked him what kind of fish he would recommend for me if I were looking for a friendly fish.
Me: now that you are basically a professional fish salesman, if I were hypothetically in the market for, say... a playful, yet smart fish that's, um, good with children, what kind of a fish would you recommend me?
Ding: buy a beta
Ding: they require the least effort on my part
Me: lol
Me: but what if I have a terrible fear of beta fish, so it must be anything but that
Ding: get a guppy
Ding: it rhymes with puppy, so you know it's friendly
And then I began laughing kind of uncontrollably, which is fine usually, but I was in the library and I think the people next to me thought I was crazy.
