the adventures of icerfish

"They used to take Cod from Alaska, all the way to china. They’d keep em’ in vats in the ship. By the time the Codfish reached China, the flesh was mush and tasteless. So this guy came up with the idea that if you put these Cod’s in these big vats, put some catfish in with em’, and the Catfish would keep the Cod agile. And there are those people who are Catfish in life and they keep you on your toes, they keep you guessing, they keep you thinking, they keep you fresh. And I thank God for the Catfish because, we’d be droll, boring and dull if we didn’t have somebody nipping at our fin."
