Getting Your Head Stuck Places It Shouldn't Be
So, are you hoping for some strange sexual tale???
Well, ha no such tale shall follow.
This holiday weekend, Monday, I had a fish incident. We have a ten gallon tank with two goldfish, Tommy the Power Ranger and Dora the Explorer. These particular fish started out as the Walmart $0.12 special and now they're both just over 3" in length if not 4". Also in the tank was one little tank toy, no more, just one. It was a dinosaur bouncing in and out of his dinosaur egg.
Well, fish aren't very bright. We have yet to kill them, but still they're not very bright. I guess it was late morning on Monday and I start yelling "We have a dead fish!" "We have a dead fish!" I know this sounds crazy, but we've grown to like our fish and the last thing we want to do is flush a 4" fish. So, J comes to the tank and we did not have a dead fish, we had a dumbass fish that had wedge itself inside the dinosaur egg. Well, J won't put his hand inside the tank so I did that and grab this toy with said fish stuck inside. Would you like to know how difficult it was to unwedge this thing??? There is always the temptation to grab the tail and pull, but you can't do that because this thing was stuck and her tail probably would have just come off. So, we stood there with me holding the dinosaur and J prying the top up so Dora could wiggle out. She finally did, the dinosaur has been permanently removed from the tank, and she is a-okay!
Stupid fish!!

Please tell me that you have this incident on video somewhere! That
would be absolutely hysterical to watch! I'm glad Dora is ok.

what's funny is we've discussed other fish, but we never intended these to live this long. i guess i figured that if i couldn't maintain a house plant, what would my luck be with fish?
