catfish

they used to tank cod from alaska all the way to china. they'd keep 'em in vats in the ship. by the time the cod fish reached china the flesh was mush, and tasteless. so this guy came up with the idea that if you put these cods in these big vats, put some catfish in with 'em. and the catfish will 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 fins.
