Nice grocery-store moment

[Eve]

I was at the Shop-Rite fish counter this morning and noticed the fishmonger had put the porgy and bass right next to each other.

All day I've been humming "Bass, you is my dinner now."

[Taomist]

Nice (I'm not a musical fan, but even I got that one)

[Lacunae Matata]

Awesome!

(But I figured this would be a thread about people helping others in the grocery store. My daughter pointed out the other day that I must look fairly knowledgeable, because people are forever stopping my in the aisles to ask advice, like what kind of cooking oil for fried chicken or which herbs for cornbread dressing or the difference between baking powder and baking soda. Not too surprising, though, since we live in a college town and lots of students don't know much about cooking.)

[needscoffee]

Were they in tuna with each other?

[NoClueBoy]

They were showboating

[Slithy Tove]

And next to them an unidentified fish. It ain't necessarily sole.

[Alice The Goon]

He just put them together for the halibut.

[Baker]

If you don't stop punning you'll sleep with the fishes.

[Wile E]

Baker, this is the SDMB, you know this thread is going to end up swimming with puns. You may as well just skate on out of here while you can.

So you mean all these puns aren't just a fluke?

[phouka]

I hate to see so many Dopers floundering.

[Lamar Mundane]

Fishing is a big part of the Sportin' Life.

*snerk*

Now see, that's something I'd carp about.

[jjimm]

Salmon time, and the living is easy...

Anyway, please stop the puns, you're giving me a haddock.

Oh I don't know... on a scale of 1 to 10, that's actually pretty good.

Don't mussel in on this, I'm not going to clam up.

[Tapioca Dextrin]

Poor baby. Do you need to be coddled?

[NoClueBoy]

Abalone!

[drastic_quench]

These puns are sardine to piss me off.

[Khadaji]

I so hope he did that on porpoise.

[HotDogWater]

...and then the blind man said "hello, ladies!"

Ooooh, that was crappie! It really smelt.

Just call us "the mobsters with the lobsters" (that's a Curtis Slewaism)

[BobArrgh]

Baker, don't be such a crab.

[banjoDavid]

and dropped my wallet overboard. The carp in the water swatted it back and forth to each other with their tails.

First time I'd seen carp-to-carp walleting.

I wasn't being crabby! I was just making my own poor attempt at a fishy joke!

No need to yell. I'm not hard of herring.

I can't stop, I'm kelpless.

[Mean Mr. Mustard]

Similarly...

I recently bought a counter-top spice rack. After setting it on the counter, I immediately arranged, front and center, parsley, then sage, then rosemary, then thyme.


mmm

[cornflakes]

Were the catfish on display lined up end to end? Why have just Porgy and Bass when you can have all of Catfish Row?

[Wile E]

Everyone in this thread is gillty of punning!

[nonacetone]

This is turning out to be a whale of a thread!

[Jackmannii]

Can a moderator lox this thread?

[cornflakes]

I'm not in the mood for fish. How were they for red meats? Do they got plenty of mutton? Mutton's plenty for me!

No, they manta do that.

[panache45]

They're worth at least a fin.

[panache45]

Carpe diem!

E porpoise unum!

Caviar emptor!

[ProbablyProcrastinating]

Pollocks, JThunder. I don't think this grouper is up to it...

[MacLir]

The place is rocking to the swinging sounds of Tommy Dorsal.

The stage is surrounded by screaming groupers ... probably there to see the bass player.

Yellow manta ray, my dear Watson.

Well, actually, no.

[Lukeinva]

You can tune a piano but you can't tuna fish

[NoClueBoy]

Wet Dreams.

I slipped him a fin.

[Jaguars!]

Oh SDMB, you've gurnard done it again! Another thread full of hoki puns.

I would tell you all to go to hallibut I'd feel like a right 'eel.

Looks like this thread wobegong anywhere soon.

[Maserschmidt]

Jeez, I'd hake to make this plaice any worse by adding to the puns.

[carnut]

Yer a bunch of pikers and probably walleyed ones at that.

[Clothahump]

When you swim in the sea,
And an eel bites your knee -
It's a moray....

[Spiderman]

Some of these puns are so roughy that I may just krill myself, maybe by falling on my swordfish

Damn, beat me to it. I can supply the artist though. I want to say Kip Addotta or something?
