Our new grand kitten

Dark Comedy Quote

A negotiator likes to tell the story of a businessman who was fishing in a lake and caught a strange fish. The fish was a brilliant blue and glimmered in the sunlight as it thrashed about in the boat. Suddenly the fish spoke to the man.

“Please throw me back in the lake,” gagged the fish, “and I’ll grant you three wishes.”

The businessman considered the request and replied, “Make it five and we’ve got a deal.”

I can grant only three,” gasped the fish.

“Four and a half,” the man suggested.

“Three,” the fish replied faintly.

“Okay, we’ll compromise on four wishes,” the businessman conceded.

The fish did not reply. It lay dead on the bottom of the boat. – Glenn VanEkeren
