    Flying there-under, under the sea! Everyone loves the king of the sea, Ever so kind and gentle is he, Tricks he will do when children appear, And how they laugh when he’s near! They call him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning, No-one you see, is smarter than he…

    How long do you intend to hang out with your friend, Bob? Until it maxes your credit card on constantly going to the fish monger’s?

    It would be similar with a cat.

    If he had a cat that went everywhere with him, he would have a purr puss in life.

    now, that is a brain, Stephan’s that is , addled not on drugs or booze, but puns. How does his family live with him making puns on everything they do? Men and their jokes, I guess that’s how they adapt; but the worse has got to be old, stale Dad jokes.

    I want to open a water park in the Middle East for the nomadic tribes there. It will feature shows with pampered aquatic mammals. It should be quite an attraction for all in tents and porpoises

    Through The Looking Glass (book):“Will you walk a little faster?” said a whiting to a snail.There’s a porpoise close behind us, and he’s treading on my tail…"… “If I’d been the whiting,” said Alice, I’d have said to the porpoise, ‘Keep back, please: we don’t want you with us!’”“They were obliged to have him with them,” the Mock Turtle said: “no wise fish would go anywhere without a porpoise.”
