I ran across a jelly out on the reef just last week. The little dude was hard to see, but I saw him and managed to avoid him. Don’t want to end up like Rodney.

So Wiz is now Ducky from NCIS. Choosing to wax poetics with his subject on how they got to his operating table?

So Rodney found “someone” who has less of a backbone then he does. Yet this “someone” can really hurt people, unlike Sir Rodney.

Time for Wiz to whizz on the jellyfish sting?

Maybe Rod, but the Wiz is feeling better already!

Perhaps the Wiz is hoping that a mind numbing explanation will spread to the extremities.

Just remember, everything alive in the ocean eats something else alive in the ocean.

That’ll teach Rodney not to touch stuff he shouldn’t.

Wonder what would happen if a jelly fish ever met up with a peanut-butter fish?

As a lad, I stepped on a Portuguese Man-O-War tentacle. Supreme ouchie. Thought I had stepped on lava.
