You can give a man a fish, or teach him to fish, but are you able to train him to defeat the concept of fish?

    From the perspective of phylogenetics, if you believe that all trout species and all shark species should be called “fish”, then all mammals are also fish, including you.

    What is a concept of fish (and would the fish agree to it)?

      I dunno, do you agree to it?

      Those very important veins in your neck are where your gills used to be.

      I’m pretty sure you actually have them briefly in utero before they close up once the umbilical chord is delivering enough oxygen.

      I’ll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.

        The part that always puzzled me was…why is only ONE of the number 45s with cheese, if they’re all for him?

      No like how to defeat the concept of fish. Think of a fish, and then think about how to think about defeating that thought. You have to defeat the concept of the thing.
