At the always energetic Pike Place Fish Co. at the Market, they like to make a show of their work. The staff… Let’s call them boisterous. They’re loud. It’s loud. And it’s brilliant. They’re holding the attention of a large crowd by chucking huge salmons between them like NBA stars with a basketball.
It led me to have the following discourse with one of the fish guys:
“Do you ever drop it?”
“We’re human, of course we drop it!”
“What happens then?”
“We pick it up… But we don’t sell it to humans. It goes to the zoo for the bears.”
It could be worse, I suppose…it could well be a giraffe named Marius at a Danish zoo .
