I had an aquarium a couple of years ago with three fish. I should’ve named them: Floater Bellyup, and Kevorkian (The last fish jumped out and landed in my son’s toy box. It was a couple of days before I found him.) ---

I thought I was the only one who remembered that story! It’s Rikki-Tikki-Tembo-No-Sa-Rembo-Cheri-Beri-Buchi-Pip-Beri-Pembo. I think. Ironic. IIRC, in the story, RTTNSRCBBPBP fell down a well. I figger, just name it “fish.” It’s not like it’ll come when you call it anyway! ---
