I used to date a girl who looked like that.

[TexasCajun]

Nothing to sneeze about, lucky it wasn’t a marlin.

[Hegemony Cricket]

Next time he won’t be so glib about saying, “Cross my heart and hope to die, stick a needle...”

[max americana]

Well, at least the fish didn’t jump his bum.

[Dysart]

It's jaws hit

Ridiculous.

[DieHard the Hunter]

Reminds me of a great tune from the 1970’s that I haven’t heard since. Went something like:

“May the Bird of Paradise fly up yer nose...”

Anyone heard that tune? Or was it too obscure?

[manic4organic]

I think that website is misnamed.

[Gator113]

It’s got to suck to be him.

[NewMexLurker]

This is just from memory - no google.

May the bird of paradise fly up your nose.
May an elephant caress you with his toes.
May your wife be plagued with runners in her hose.
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose.

I can’t remember the singer without googling. Probably Ray Stevens.

His lifejacket is too tight.

In the 70’s it may have been covered by Earnest Tubb.

Well, we’re making NM look brilliant!

[IrishPennant]

Time we said enough is enough with these damned Needlefish...I say we fight back and fight back now. To Arms!!!!!

Experts from the Department of Otolarynology at Israel's Meir Medical Centre in Kfar Saba said that the man was admitted to the hospital after the fish hit him in the face,

At least he's got a good sturgeon

[gorush]

"At least he's got a good sturgeon "

How insensitive. The poor guy is floundering about in a real pickerel. Just for the halibut, you should think about what you've done.

[Bon mots]

I wonder if sharks are afraid of them...

[Huntress]

“May the Bird of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose”

A classic by Little Jimmy Dickens.

I have it on mp3, along with other such classics as “Welfare Cadillac,” “Drop Kick Me Jesus Through the Goal Posts of Life,” and “Thank God and Greyhound (You’re Gone).”

At least it wasn't a toothpick fish". (One of those fish from the Amazon that swims up the penis and lodges itself with barbs).

Maybe future Israeli PM Netanyahu should take O-vomit out for a little fishin’ excursion. “Look deep into the water at the fish, Mr. President... bend over, just a bit more...”
