Flipper likes to get wasted. Who knew?

Un reported was the fact that the mesmerized dolphins were female

Or they’re too stupid to know puffer fish are toxic?

Give them some shrooms and see what happens.
I swam in the Pacific with Spinner dolphins. That was awesome.
One came right up to me. Ill never forget that.

Eating puffer fish isn’t smart.

Im pretty sure dolphins arent stupid. Oh, really?
So why don't they pass the word and get out of the way of passing tuna boats and their nets?

Personally, I’m not that surprised. For an extremely intelligent creature, spending its entire life in a semi-dark void, eating fish, surfacing to breathe, submerging to find more fish, eating, and so on must become a bit boring. Playing chicken with the bow wake of human ships, jousting with sharks, and occasionally rescuing those funny hairless apes the sharks try to eat, just doesn’t happen quite often enough to relieve the ennui. So taking a few tokes on a ball of neurotoxin could fill in the gaps. If they had underwater saloons they’d probably be found congregating at the bar.

Well, they ARE the most sexually active mammals on land or sea.

I have no idea, how many dolphin’s die alcohol poisoning?
Far fewer than the stupid ones that eat puffer fish.

They do meet up at The Sand Bar. I saw them when I was cruising by in my Sting Ray.
