When we lived in Washington, my brother-in-law told me that buying
salmon in the supermarket was for suckers. Unfortunately, he never once
gave me a salmon that he fished out of a stream and I sure wasn't gonna
go out in the cold air/waters to catch me no salmon. That's for suckers!

OTOH, I could go for an oyster shooter right now, even though the ones
I've had over here are a pretty sorry excuse for oysters. I better wait
till I get to Seattle or San Francisco.
