Fisherman's Friends Posted Thu, 29 Sep 2005

I have a sore throat today and I asked Mika if she had any Fisherman's Friends. She asked what they were. I said "fish."

I was making a joke. After all, calling a fish a "fisherman's friend" implies a relationship that is beyond the realm of even dysfunctional friendships. Of course, this also makes one wonder about the term "friend" in the context of a throat lozenge that hardly fairs any better than the fish in the same company.
