As opposed to the WKRP Carp.
Most people don’t realize that those cute little goldfish that their kids win at the county fair are actually baby carp. They take them home and put them in a fishbowl or one of those cheap little WalMart aquariums. Eventually the kids get bored with them, and the parents realize what a pain it the butt it is to care for them. So they dump them in the nearest freshwater, either a lake, stream or retention pond. And they grow. I’ve seen orange carp in some of the local ponds as long as my forearm. And they’re not even good eating. The gators like them, though. I guess that’s why they’re not becoming a nuisance around here yet.
