My Favorite Bird

One last trip out to the local fish company. AP Bell fish company in Cortez, Florida.
A serious fish place. Grimy, dirty, smelly,...wonderful.

They have a group of boats...all with the name of Belle. She's a Belle, Liberty Belle, Alice Belle, Karen Belle, Lisa Belle, and Savannah Belle. I decided to go in the "showroom" (a small fish-smellin room to sell their goods), and give them some ideas for future boats.

"Can I help you sir?"

"Yes...I would like to suggest the names for your next 3 fishing boats. They should be called Silver Belle, Dumb Belle, and........Taco Belle."

"Sir...all 3 of those names are REALLY stupid...but...Taco Belle? C'mon...give us a break."

"Wait...wait...hear me out!! Your boat is out there with illegal netting...and the sheriiff approaches with lights-a-blazin. How does your boat...the Taco Belle...respond? HE MAKES A RUN FOR THE BORDER!!!!"

Let me finish by saying that the mackerel slapping against the back of my neck as I exited didn't feel too great. Maybe next time...I'll just use the suggestion box.

Goodbye to my pelicans, and my other Florida birds. I'm a little behind in commenting...and will try to catch up tomorrow. We are off to the airport.
