I am reminded of the time I visited [Stingray City](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stingray_City,_Grand_Cayman), in the Cayman Islands. The tours will give you pieces of chopped-up squid to feed them.The stingrays are used to humans, and will eat out of your hand. The tour guide compared their mouths to a vacuum cleaner. “Be careful where you wipe the grease off your hands. The stingrays will pounce on it, and leave hickeys that you might have trouble explaining to your spouse. Oh, and guys . . . don’t even think about it!” ---

Catfish can do lots of things, they bark(which bugs me to no end) and the whiskers sting. I know one who is very talented at #16.😌 ---
