Crusin'....

I have never had the pleasure of bathing a cat....nor do i think i want to....bathed a fish....he didn't seem to mind....
speaking of the fish...i was reminded of that purchase when i read the thread about the "confusion" on whether an item was on sale or not...
you see, I bought this fish...an Oscar....at a pet shop...he was the only Oscar ... all alone in the pet shop tank...so, i had an aquarium...the price was right....so i bought him...
when i got him home and in his tank...i noticed something...his right eye was in a continuous spin....all googling around over and over..
so...i put him in a fish bowl and i take him back to the pet store...i was told :
"ALL SALES ARE FINAL"
well smell me!
so, i am stuck with a googly eyed fish....because of my fascination with that spinning eye, i would sit by the aquarium for hours...wondering why the eye did that..
over time...i grew fond of the little finner...so, for treats i would toss a nghtcrawlerto him...and googly eye or not...he always nabbed the worm...and slurped it down like a kid with a spaghetti noodle...
well, word of the slurpy googly eyed fish spread....people would drop by and ask to see him...
so I figured, "well...i have the fish bowl and i still have my little red wagon got for my 5th birthday....why not take this show on the road?"
so, on many evenings...i would net him out of the aquarium....take him up to the tub....give him a good scrubbing....place him in the fish bowl on the wagon...and we would happily walk around town.....tossing him a nightcrawler to slurp from time to time....
anyways...the fame of the slurpy googly eyed fish reached the owner of the pet store..he came and made an offer...wanting to display the slurpy googly eyed fish to attract customers...
i got 20 times what i paid for him...visitation rights...and...:
"THIS SALE WAS FINAL!"
