Okay so I had to open my pet store this morning. We have a 120 gallon display tank for my dads "fish orphanage" we call it. He takes in fish that people who were silly and kept fish in too small of a tank give us. Ne ways. Our fish distributor accidntly sent us two needle nose gars. So ones in a 55 and one goes in the 120.. Well the one in the 120 (only has one eye so we call him patchy) jumped out of the tank.. and chomped down on this customers shoe lace by accident! he woudln't let go! the customer kicked off his shoe. picked it up, and put the gar in the tank and then we gave him a scissors to cut the shoe lace. Everyone got very wet...
I KID YOU NOT! TIHS HAPPENED!

That's OK, at my store, one idiot decided to put is finger in the tank with a dog-faced puffer, and the puffer promptly swam over and chomped down on the guys finger. Well, his first reaction was, of course, to yank his hand out.
The puffer did not let go.
He went through the air and landed about 20- feet away. We scooped him up and he was fine. Moral of the story- Don't be an idiot!

To bad you didn't have a security camera. It would have made a very funny picture indeed. Glad the puffer made it. Idiots is as Idoits due. Try working around privates all day and then you will really know an idoit when youy see one.

I was a private at one time (still have one, too. i think) So I guess I can see that.

I kinda pity the puffer more...you'd expect the one with the larger brain to know what to do better.

How presumptous. You just assume, even with all the evidence at hand, that the dude has a bigger brain?!
