This week I went out for dinner with my family to celebrate my brother-in-law’s birthday and was served an entire fish. Afterwards, I took a small piece of pasta, stuck it in the fish’s mouth like it was smoking a cigar, and moved the fish’s dead jaws up and down while doing a fair-to-middling impression of Edward G. Robinson.
I cannot be entirely sure, but I believe the dialogue goes something like this: “Yeah…yeah, see! I want more. More, see! Myeahh. What kind of crackers…bananas operation is this?”
If you are ever served a whole fish I highly recommend using it to practice your Edward G. Robinson impression on, even if afterwards your brother-in-law says “Sometimes I feel a little embarrassed going out for a nice dinner with you.”
