My affinity for fish food got the best of me, and I started reading the back of the bag, scanning through the ingredients. The bastard oscar decided he couldn't wait anymore and leaped completely out of the tank, hitting me in the chest and falling on the floor. Scared the crap out of me, sending pellets spewing onto my rug and me scrambling to chase a flopping oscar around my living room. No injury to the fish, I broke his fall. I wouldn't be surprised if he managed to eat a few pellets off the carpet while I was chasing him.

Now the thing that really still bakes my noodle was did they make it in one clear jump or did they touch down in the oscar tank halfway across the room?

i know, i got one a little similar. when new people used to come over to my place and want to feed my oscars. i'd tell them to hold some pellets in their hand. they'd always want to feed the cute little red oscar and of course they would wave and hover their hand over the three begging oscars trying to get to the little red.
WHAM! the large tiger would always jump right out of the water and scare the crap outta one of my friends/family. cracks me up every time, every time!
