Here, for your voting pleasure, are the submissions:

2) "Charlie's last thoughts were centered on the irony that he would be bronzed and transformed into a quasi-cannibalistic tuna can opener."

3) "I'm NOT ticklish!"

4) "I'm an endangered species I tell ya, put me back!"

5) "Thursday afternoon's performance of Madama Butterfly took much longer than expected due to Signora Pesci's frequent need for air which was satisfied by leaping into a nearby pond."

6) "Chef Suzuki Yamamoto opens the world's first do-it-yourself sushi bar."

7) "Rolly-Polly fish heads, eat them up, yum."

8) "...and that's why I carry the Halibut Express Card. Don't leave shore without it."

9) "Salmon enchanted evening...You may be the main course...You may be the main course...Across my dinner plate"

10) "Got fish?"

11) "Do you ever feel like the world is one gigantic fish hook and you are the bait?"


Let us know which one is your favorite.

I'll give it a little longer in case Eye should stumble in. I'm going to post the answers to #8 now.

I will put you out of your misery and tell you that I wrote #9 (and I'll not even give you any sort of guilt trip for not thinking of me )
