I said, madam, that we were not going to discuss Fred's unfortunate situation. It has been corrected, well, somewhat, at least, and he is a fine, usually sober, of our fine crew, which cannot be said for most others.

After the intentional fileting of Fred's phallus, it was interesting to note that the pole pruning piranhas suddenly became extinct!
Now we can surmise from that information that they either starved to death or died from gluttony.
Fred is the only member of the crew who thinks the latter is the case.
