🤣 Having witnessed frantic organ delivery in my hospital this struck my funny bone, luckily not in my throat. 😆. "I have no fish to embaress myself further. I will let myself trout" - (Kryten - Red Dwarf)

"white-haired nutjob doing the breast stroke in a pet store". Now, to out-of-towners that would seem odd, but to us New Yorkers not so much😆

I love any fresh fish, and I have no judgement about your dislike…..more for me. And thanks for the movie reminder; I loved The Incredible Mr. Limpet when I was a kidlet.

Another fantastic tale, Eileen! I’m with you - on both the fish AND the Ellio’s.

I think I'm going to have to buy some Ellio's for old time's sake. 😂

This is a scream, Eileen. Talk about turning something that's seemingly nothing into a great story. I guess that couple is like "the one that got away."

LOL, great story as always, Eileen.

The Incredible Mr. Limpet is one of my favorite movies, and I also despise tuna melts.

I love tuna salad and cheese but together? YUCK!! Have a good day.

Thank you! It was so funny to have that movie spring to mind when I hadn't thought of it in decades. I'm so glad you liked it, too, but you really can't go wrong with Don Knotts. 😂

I loved this! 6:30 am and I am already laughing!

I'm getting my passport renewed and made the grim discovery that I'm a dead ringer for Jeffrey Epstein. I'll send you the photo.😂😂😂

😂 It certainly does. (Your grandma sounds like a very wise woman, by the way...)
