Kilarney! A likely story. The fish farm was in debt; they turned all the wee little 'fellers loose, they did, right 'afore foreclosure. Aye!

What's an Irish salmon? Red haired fish that swims in circles when it's drunk?

I hate jellyfish with their flopping gelatinous bodies! Article said they normally terrorize bathers in the Mediterranean. Oh! It's terror is it? Well, wonder how it would go with a twin turbine jet boat powered by a fully blown 454 Chev engine with stainless steel sharpened impellers Hmmm? Maybe throw a spray boom on board with saturated lime water. See just how the little blighters like that!

In typical fashion they had to throw global warming in there.

nasty critters. I'd hate to go swimming with them. Poor fish. Poor owners.
