years and years ago a member of our gang made his living selling herbs. kenny was originally from the united states but after a few run-ins with the authorities he decided to head north and somehow our happy little band of misfits ran into him at a bar and soon he was part of the gang. kenny impressed us with his tales of large deals and large profits but somehow he was always broke. after a run-in with our law he decided to go straight and started selling fish out of the back of his truck. he purchased fish from the indians on credit and promised to pay when the goods were sold. it wasn't long before kenny figured out selling herbs was more profitable than selling fish so he started to sell herbs along with the fish.
one day after selling most of his fish he headed to the bar to try and sell some herbs. predictably, he got shit faced drunk while his truck sat in the sun. he finally staggered out to his truck and left the parking lot and drove straight into some guy driving a shiny new corvette. so there was a drunken kenny sitting in the middle of a busy road with rotten fish in the bed of his truck and plenty of herbs on bench seat of his truck trying to convince the owner of corvette to forget the whole thing. the guy with the corvette called the police and kenny was taken away. the truck was impounded along with the fish and the herbs. kenny spent a bit time in jail but was soon out on bail and back to selling herbs and fish.
kenny continued in his entrepreneurial ways for years and along the way he hooked up with lady of the evening who was addicted to a white powder so kenny added that commodity to his business. a few years ago his lifestyle caught up with him and he suffered a massive heart attack. kenny now sleeps with the fish.
i bring all this up because last night a friend called me and asked me if i needed any fish. after all these years we still use the the word "fish" when referring to certain high priced herbs.
i'll be picking up my fish tonight.
i love you sons of bitches

i love you too.
Herbs, eh? Would that be basil, parsley, thyme, tarragon, mint? Maybe not. You must have great freshwater fish in your part of the world. What's the salmon like?
yellowdog - you're always first in my heart.
gb - salmon are the big deal here. we had the biggest run in recent history this year.
I hope your fishing went well.
So what's next, Mexican Fish Cartels south of our borders?
tex - the fish were lovely. they went very well with an x-files episode.
robert - i'd like to think i'm not buying mexican fish.
Most of my Kennys are dead too.
