What's the scale on food prices? A couple fins for a good bite I'd cast out. Two Finns and a Pollack walked into a sand bar.....

I feel like that every time I enter a station, these days.

That thing is screaming ETNANOL !!!

Gary and Erich, the humor is getting a little fishy. I'm usually a sucker for puns but I'm staying out of this one just for the Halibut.
BTW it's a great picture.
Thanks
Rich

So the local Dr. fills his coupe here as he is a Sturgeon. If they had a piano in there, they would need a piano tuna. Obviously they have a shop, so your T can be kept in tuna. Hope the driver didn't char his band lining. I hear their gas is nothing to carp about. Repairs here take so long, you wait with baited breath. Helps to bring a few friends to get the grouper discount. The guy must have been a sucker for the sailfish on shingles.

Holy Mackerel Erich, your really hooked. Did you hear the tail about the card shark and the mermaid?

I wonder if the owner's car looked anything like this?

I looked at this just before I went to work. Came home, and no one has added anything. You guys need to go back to school. I didn't expect you to flounder this way. A bunch of punsters like all of us should be able to trout out a few more. Guess I need to swim upstream a bit more.

The first is the old Fish Inn east of Coeur d'Alene Idaho north of I90 on the old road. Burnt down in the 80's.

Frankly, Scallop, I don't give a clam. :-) :-)

The big mouth driver said it could go anywhere but then it broke down on the turn-PIKE and he had to perch it in the main stream. Not a good place to flounder. He shad a stayed in bed with his drunken ale-wife but she said he smelt too much. A crappie deal all around.

One of my silly Favorites by Kip Addotta....


It was April the forty-first
Being a quadruple leap year
I was driving in downtown Atlantis
My barracuda was in the shop
So I was in a rented stingray
And it was overheating

So I pulled into a Shell Station
They said I'd blown a seal
I said, "Fix the damn thing
And leave my private life out of it
Okay pal?"

While they were doing that
I walked over to a place called the Oyster Bar, a real dive
But I knew the owner
He used to play for the Dolphins
I said "Hi Gil"
You have to yell, he's hard of herring

Think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Wet dream

Gil was also down on his luck
Fact is he was barely keeping his head below water
I bellied up to the sandbar
He poured me the usual

Rusty snail, hold the grunion
Shaken not stirred
With a peanut butter and jellyfish sandwich on the side
Heavy on the mako

I slipped him a fin
On porpoise
I was feeling good
I even dropped a sand dollar in the box for Jerry's squids
For the halibut

Well the place was crowded
We were packed in like sardines They were all there to listen to the big band sounds of Tommy Dorsal
What sole

Tommy was rockin' the place with a very popular tuna
Salmon Chanted Evening
And the stage was surrounded by screaming groupers
Probably there to see the bass player

One of them was this cute little yellowtail
And she's giving me the eye
So I figured this is my chance for a little fun
You know, piece of Pisces

But she said things I just couldn't fathom
She was too deep, seemed to be under a lot of pressure
Boy, could she drink
She drank like a . . .
She drank a lot

I said "What's your sign"
She said "Aquarium"
I said "Great, let's get tanked"

Think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Wet dream

I invited her to my place for a midnight bait
I said "Come on baby, it'll only take a few minnows"
She threw me that same old line
"Not tonight, I gotta haddock"

And she wasn't kidding either
Cause in came the biggest, meanest looking haddock
I'd ever seen come down the pike
He was covered with mussels

He came over to me and said
"Listen, shrimp, don't you come trollin' around here"
What a crab
This guy was steamed
I could see the anchor in his eyes

I turned to him, I said
"A-balone, you're just being shellfish"
Well, I knew it was going to be trouble and so did Gil
'Cause he was already on the phone to the cods

The haddock hits me with a sucker punch
I catch him with a left hook
He eels over
It was a fluke but there he was
Lying on the deck, flat as a mackerel
Kelpless

I said "Forget the cods Gil
This guy's gonna need a sturgeon"
Well, the yellowtail was impressed with the way I landed her boyfriend
She came over to me, she said
"Hey, big boy, you're really a game fish
What's your name"
I said "Marlin"

Think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Wet dream

Well, from then on we had a whale of a time
I took her to dinner, I took her to dance
I bought her a bouquet of flounders
And then I went home with her
And what did I get for my trouble
A case of the clams

Think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh

Wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh

Wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh

That whole tail smelts a little fishy to me.

I once caught a fish so big the picture weight 50 pounds.

Has any of you punsters noticed that the first fish car photo is different? The others have poor driver visibility 'cos of the big pillar at the side of the mouth. In the first photo you can just see that the fish mouth is down at radiator level and the driver has a nice big windscreen & side windows.

All this from a simple photo of a creative gasoline station?
Oh, well. I always thought the oil companies were a little fishy.
Thank you, again, Jay!
Drive carefully, and enjoy, W2

Trying to fix my horn. It keeps going BALOOGA, BALOOGA. I think it has something to do with the eel-lictric system. Looked at it so long I'm getting a little wall eyed. Maybe some Cutty Sark will help.
