I once had some piranha; flew them all the way from South
America in my plane in a glass case full of water.

Around here, we just run down to the pet store and ask the nice man for a
piranha. He'll ask us: "What kind", as he stocks a number of different
species of piranha.

There's no need to tell everyone how common you are, Krueger. Jesus,
farmed piranha, no doubt in "designer" neon colours. And I bet your
clothes have labels on the outside. And you eat farmed "salmon".

No, no, no. My piranha were the real thing, wild from the Amazon,
given to me as a token of appreciation by a colonel of the Brazilian
special forces on whom I had written such a glowing report when as a
major he was on exchange to us that on his return he was bumped up two
ranks.

I'm disappointed in you, Krueger. But what can one expect from someone
who doesn't like tube amps?
