One Fish, Two Fish, Bald Fish, Jew Fish

“So are you still dating the actor?” a friend’s mom asked me on the ferry.
“No we broke up, months ago” I replied trying to change the subject
“So how is your---”
She cut me off with
“Don’t worry. There are more fish in the sea.”

This would be a reassuring sentiment if I were looking to date a flounder. As I am not looking for a man with both eyes on one side of his head or an affinity for mummichogs and sand shrimp, this homespun dating advice doesn’t really apply.

Now mud sharks on the other hand…kinda dangerous, kinda bad boy…
