Thu Jan 8,12:39 PM ET  Add Oddly Enough - Reuters to My Yahoo!

WARSAW (Reuters) - Three Polish divers faced a police investigation Thursday
for possible illegal fishing and animal abuse after a news photo showed them
plying a freshly caught pike with champagne at an outdoor New Year's party.
...

The picture in Nowa Trybuna daily showed three frogmen neck-deep in a lake,
with one of them tipping a bottle of cheap Russian bubbly into the fish's
open mouth.

One of the divers told news agency PAP that they had found the pike
half-dead and wanted to "restore it to consciousness by treating it with
champagne."

OK.  I can't leave this one alone.  Things overheard after the incident:

"Yer wife is wrong Stash.  You don't drink like a fish, you drink way more
den a fish."

"Ahhh, right down da pike..."

"I hope we don't get a judge like da Big Tuna.  Alls I want is a fair
herring."

"Nah, champagne won't hurt him!  Anyone who's had an aquarium knows that
fish like da bubbles..."

"Hi.  My name is Al, and I'm a coho-olic."
"Hi Al."

"Well, things were going really well.  We went swimming, had a few drinks
and then we went back to the room.   But then she just laid there like a
dead..."

"Hey Stash, I know fish like worms but that ain't Tequila..."

"Hey Wally, when I do this, it kinda looks like Mick Jagger during a
concert..."

"I'm sorry.  Did I get it wrong?  Does fish go with red wine?"
