How Fishy Is This Anyway?

I pulled up at a house today out by the bay at Sandy Point and, right away, I knew that something fishy was going on. It did not take a rocket scientist to figure it out. All it took was one look at the mail box.

I thought it was a pretty funny but fishy mailbox. I have a friend who I would love to give it to. He is a fisherman and a fanatic. On second thought, I should have bartered the home inspection for the mail box. On third thought, nobody there owned the mailbox so it would have all been illegal and I would have been incarcerated. And how fishy is that?.

It was a very fishy day.

Thanks for stopping by,

Steven L. Smith

Hi Steven,

Very cute. I've seen similar in the FL Keys, some very creative people.

If nobody owns it the case becomes one of finders keepers.

No jail time for that!

Fish, golf balls, tractors you name it. Like vanity license plates, vanity mail boxes goes to show you how low some folks can really go...

Like the mailbox.. find anything like it on craigslist or ebay?

Phishing is illegal and criminally fraudulent. If you had a decent assistant like I do, you would not have been placed in this precarious position.

Just have Nutsy do it.  With his background he should be in and out in a minute or two.

See? Proves my point. Everyone recognizes your assistant's illegal and criminally fraudulent tendencies.

Mrs Kate,

I will hold you responsible for all of your reprehensible comments.

Nuts, say "reprehensible" five times backwards while you chase your tail on a ferry ramp during rush hour.

Hello Steven - Many of the fishermen I know are crazy.  So..... the fishy mailbox would suit them fine.
