I'm sickened by the au-filet the big 'eels at Sunfish took out that line
without telling people.  What a load of carp!  Those people at Sunfish
have no sole!  I get a haddock just thinking about all those clownfish
beauracrats who did this, just for the halibut.  They were probably
shrimping sand dollars from the tech writers, who were working for scale
anyway.  If they want to save a few clams, why don't they cut the
mangers' tidal sums, make them drive Caviarlets instead of Roes
R-oysters and Codallics?  Who are they squidding??  Us old salts know
they're grouping, just trouting out the same old lines... Apparently
managers have nothing better to octopi their time than coral jokes in
man pages.  You beach your life this won't stop here -- soon there will
be an insturgeons of seriousness at Sunfish, leaving ALL their man pages
with a dolphinish.  Oh whale, I guess all we can do is tell them to jump
in a lake.

Please, no crab jokes.
