We're all mad here.

My dad has a friend who breeds koi. He wants to buy some of the black ones that don't sell for pets to stuff into his beaver pond to clean it up (old vegetation and whatnot. Apparently koi are really good at that). However, we're talking a wild beaver pond and the guy's wife who's an environmental supervisor of sorts is having none of *that!*
My mother also brought some goldfish back from Japan when she was young. The fish were so docile that the airline attendent grabbed her bag and threw it onto the baggage scanner before she could tell him about it and you could see these huge goldfish swimming very calmly back and fourth on the security monitor which no one happened to be looking at at the time, so she flew back with two goldfish in her carry-on bag and they did fine. This, of course, was back when people were allowed to smoke on airplanes.
Tea?
