This is a man who had a problem, so he dealt with it. His problem was that he didn't have a date. The way that he dealt with it: he took a large fish. Were there other possible solutions? Maybe, but that doesn't matter. What matters is that this young man chose to do something and followed through. Put a little bit of respect on this man. You know what they say about fish, right? They put out.
We should try out some fish puns while we're here. Just for the halibut. I think it's bass we leave it to the professionals though. I don't give a carp if you want me to do them or not. I'm not fishing for praise. If you think I'm mad, don't worry. You're off the hook. I wish you whale.
