Excuse Me Ma’am but There’s a Fly in My Bowl

Posted on October 4, 2012 by Shoes

I don’t like fish.  They swim around and around, staring with their big unblinking fisheyes.  They don’t just quietly hang out, oh no, they lurk and lurking in my book is plain creepy. Fish.  They unnerve me mostly because I … Continue reading →
