When I first saw this sign many years ago on Washington Island, Wi, I laughed out loud. Since then I have learned that lawyers are fish, but I still find it funny and am happy to point it out to my lawyer husband who has never been as amused as I. DH does not particularly like this description: Burbot, a native Great Lakes fish species, are slimy, big-mouthed bottom feeders.
“That’s why they call them lawyers,” said Martin Stapanian, a research ecologist for the U.S. Geological Survey’s Lake Erie Biological Station.
Linking to Signs, signs
Tell your husband I am your side Kate. I think it funny too. _へ__(‾◡◝ )>
ReplyDeleteHaha, that's really funny. It took some translation-work to understand the word-joke. It's fun! Thank you :-)
ReplyDeletethat is hilarious...i didn't know that!
ReplyDeleteThat made me laugh. That description of the fish does not make me want to try it though.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet your husband has heard too many lawyer jokes. This is a wonderful sign, and a great find.
ReplyDeleteThat is fabulous! I've never heard of that fish though!
ReplyDeleteI must consider such advertisement in our law office😀
ReplyDeletePut me on your side too, it's good old fashion humor. I love it!
ReplyDeleteFunny.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea! That is funny!
ReplyDeleteHa! I would have laughed, too. I wasn't aware that there is a fish called Lawyer. And then there's the description of that fish...ouch!
ReplyDeleteI learn something new every day!
ReplyDeleteThat is funny. But, in deference to your lawyer husband, I don't think you should eat these!
ReplyDeletehumor is the winner here.
ReplyDeleteIn deference to your DH I will stifle my sniggle. (But I'd sure be out there photographing that sign, too!)
ReplyDeleteFunny! Guess this makes people look twice. :)
ReplyDeleteNow that is really funny! A great find!
ReplyDeleteAfter reading the description of the fish...I can see why he is not amused.
ReplyDeleteA unique find:)
ReplyDeleteI totally understand why DH is not happy Late, but it is funny though :)
