The blog name is also intended as a good-humored gesture of admiration for distinguished Chicago boys including those pictured above.

It does appear to have twice the number of flotation devices normally required by law.

However, despite the overcrowding, I will happily volunteer my services as lifeguard or official flotation ensurer.

=====================

Some people fish in the Sea of Life without bait.
…and some people ARE bait.

=====================

Since only one-fourth of the Earth’s surface is land, and three-fourths of
it is water, the Good Lord obviously wanted everyone to spend three times
as many hours fishing as plowing.

=====================

Only dead fish swim with the stream.

“I rented Jaws IV. That shouldn’t even be the title. The title should be
‘Here’s A Fish, You’re Stupid.’”

Would a display of shrunken human heads be "funny"? These native species peacefully inhabited the waters around Florida long before the white, male, Christian invaders came and attacked their habitats with a genocidal practice of "fishing" -- which really means killing and eating these peaceful creatures. The whole thing should be taken down, the President should issue an apology, and a memorial to the destroyed lives, and way of life, represented by these victims, should be put in its place.
