Stanley's Very Bad, Really Awful, Never-Want-to-Have-It Happen Again Day

More goings-on at a certain Minnesota pond

"What the...? Oh, it's you, Stanley. Slow down! Whatsamatter?"

"George...I just come from...from the swamp...Big Benny...gotta catch my breath..."

"I'll say, Stanley. Just look at those gills go! Take it easy! Okay...that's better, now. Why'd you even go down there? You know it's Big Benny's turf!"

"Agnes, George. Wanted to see the ol' girl again. Hang out and catch us some dragonflies."

"Yeah, so...what?"

"Well, Benny comes along, see, and gives me a hard time. He's a big sucker! I tried to get away, but he backed me into Turtle Rock and then...and then..."

"Yeah?"

"Well, he says he'd let me go one condition. I gotta go back once a month, the day after the full moon, and pick parasites off him."

"Tough break, Stanley. But you know, you could've been history. Let's just take us a little swim and forget about it, okay?"

"Yeah...think I've had enough excitement for one day. Hey, look, George, we got some clouds comin' in. Gettin' some shadows, here."

"That's no cloud, Stanley, it's a kingfisher! Quick! Zig! Zag! Now dive, Stanley, dive!

"Ugh! Ow! GGGGGGEEEEEOOOrrrrrrrrggggggggeeeeeeee..."

"Stanley! STANLEY! Oh, poor, poor Stanley! He's gone, old buddy, old pal."

SPLASH!

"Stanley? That you?"

Yeah...yeah, it's me again, George.

"Sheesh, how'd you do that? You must've put up quite the fight! I thought you were a gonner, for sure!"

"I...I let go on him, George. Scared it right out of me."

"You mean... naw...you didn't!...you did?...AH HA HA HA HA HA HA! The crappie did a crappy! AH HA HA HA..."

"It's not funny, George. I much prefer the word sunfish, and you know that. You're talkin' bad as a large-mouth bass, now!

"Oh...ha...yeah...okay...whew! Hey, don't pout, Stan. Pull your lips outta shape. It's just that..."

"And don't say nothin' to the guys, either, or I'll never hear the end of it!"

"Okay, buddy, don't worry. I'm the very soul of discretion."

"Hope so. Hey, let's go get us some of those juicy worms over at the cabin, George. I could use something like that right about now."

"Sure, Stanley. Hey, how 'bout some fish jokes on the way over?"

"Again, George? Aw, go ahead. You're gonna tell 'em anyway."

"Stanley, got me some salt-water fish tunes this time. You ever hear "In Your Oyster Bonnet, With All the Gills Upon it?"

"Aaaaah, that's sick, George."

"Yeah? How about this one, "Who Let the Cods Out?"

"Oh, brother!"

"Okay, try this. "What's It All About, Algae?"

"Okay, okay. Enough, George. Here we are, already."

"Hmmmm, regular smorgasbord today, huh Stanley? Which to choose? Three juicy ones!"

"Hey, George! A minnow! A real shiny one! Oh, wow! I got dibbs!"

"Stanley, NO! It's NOT a minnow! It's a..."

"EEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!"

"O'Neill, as you can see, you were mistaken. There are indeed fish in this pond."
