Your Wife as a Fish

(who swims in a dish)
  (+22, -9)(+22, -9)

  [vote for,

A man enters a pet store with a photograph of his wife and lays it on the table in front of the fish surgeon.

'I would like this on an active halibut'.

'Right you are sir, right you are' he (or she) replies.

The man pays a small deposit and returns several days later to acquire the afore mentioned halibut swimming pensively in a well sealed container. On closer inspection, the fish has undergone cosmetic surgery such that its features now resemble none other than his wife: make-up, hair extensions, reading glasses etc.

The man returns home and releases the halibut into a tank (or dish - which seems to rhyme nicely) of tepid water - and the birthday surprise is complete on her return home from the boil refinery.

       'Twould be a waste if all that cosmetic surgery was applied only on the down-side of the halibut. Who would see it? And she would still be blind, to boot.

       How much was the deposit?

       Don't tell me he did this on a whim.....or for the benefit of the fish....I won't say it, you can't make me do it.

       At least your wife as a halibut would have both her eyes on the same side of her head. Okay, quit picking on the halibut.

       Mmmmm, halibut.

       Halibuts are pretty dang big. Why would you choose such a big fish? Oh... nevermind.

       A hillariously attractive idea M8...But I think a majority of wives would be a tad insulted by this gesture...with the halibut being one of the ugliest fish known to man and all. Maybe an angel fish would suit this better...eitherway [+]

       Now if you scaled it up on porpoise...   

       //porpoise = mammal, do you mean shark?//   

       Hmmm... wondering why this is relevant.

       Damn. We have gone mad.
Pericles, Dec 11 2004
  

       On porpoise or by accident?
harderthanjesus, Dec 12 2004
  

       Probably just for the halibut.
