Is it some time in the twentieth century? Before?
Were there any notable events happening at the time which are significant to the situation? (eg war/depression/conquest of the americas…)
Was there a stench in the air before the fish got brought in?
Was it to mask another smell?
I’m taking a stab. Was it a workplace environment where it was rumored that a particular smell (gas) would harm the workers so they would quit working when they smelled it? The rumor was false though so the manager (Bill?) brought in a stronger overpowering smell so that no one could smell the supposedly harmful gas anyway.
What’s the decade? Just to stop us from asking every single decade.

Were the fish brought in order to bring in the stench of rotting fish to the group? Was it to learn about the smell of rotting fish?

No to both.
Did the group have the TAAR5 gene ?

Interesting link but no
Was bringing the fish to the group done in order to take the fish away from another place?
Did Bob and his friends interact with the fish? Did they force anyone else to interact with the fish?
Was Bob’s work legal?
Did he threaten to make someone “sleep with the fishes?”

Did Bob and his friends interact with the fish? The fish served a purpose that helped with a job problem. In that sense there was interaction. Did they force anyone else to interact with the fish? No
Was Bob’s work legal? No
Did he threaten to make someone “sleep with the fishes?” No
Was the fish used to manufacgture some other useful substance?
Was Bob actually a criminal?
Is this
- a true story?
- common event that happened many times to many people?
- something from a creative work?
Was Bob’s work related to illegal drugs?
An illegal substance that wasn’t drugs?
Did the fish hide the substance from detection?

Is this
- a true story? a fictitious account based on real life occurences.
- common event that happened many times to many people? Not common, but happened to several.
- something from a creative work? No
No to all
If Bob’s work is not legal, doesn’t that make him a criminal in an ipso facto type way ?
Did Bob take away the bucket again at the end of the work?
Did some or all of the fish get used up by the work?
Did Bob’s friends know about the fish?
Was the fish being used as a fertilizer?
Does it have anything to do with the use of fish by native americans?
