What is life like under the sea? Is it a dogfish eat dogfish
world? Is everyone united for a common porpoise? Or do they all
split off in their own special groupers? Well, one tragic story
indicates it's not so perfect down there.
There was once a brilliant sturgeon on the staff of the community
health fishility. He was in fact one of it's flounders. Wiser than
salmon, a fin fellow who would never shrimp from his
responsibilities, he was successful and happy and always whistled
a happy tuna.
One day one of his patients, a mere whipper snapper, started
trouting around telling everyone the sturgeon's treatments had
made him more eel than he had been and then conked him with a
malpractice suit.
Well, the sturgeon was in a real pickeral. The board chased him
off the staff and demanded his oyster. But fortunately the case
smelt to high heaven so the judge denied the plaintiff's clam.
The board tried to hire the sturgeon back but by then he had hit
the bottlenose pretty hard. But what's really shad about the story
is that the sturgeon ended up on squid-row.
