Get the boat prepped, Improv, we're going fishing!
The problem with having an open mind is that people keep trying to put things in it.

The joke in U.S. fishing circles used to be, "One tuna = one Toyota." I guess now it's one Ferrari instead.

This is, of course, one of the major problems of having no property rights in the ocean. Overfishing depletes stocks and this leads to higher prices. Since no one has the incentive to conserve for the future, the higher price simply encourages more sea vacuuming and the remaining viable stock enters a downward death spiral.

HOLY CARP!!!
That's a lotta' tuna fish sandwiches. :D

Bluefin are caught off the Virginia/North Carolina coasts also. The limit for recreational fishing is 1 bluefin per boat per year. I've never caught one. Usually need to run 60 to 100 miles offshore to even have a chance at one.
Identifying narcissists isn't difficult. Just look for the person who is constantly fishing for compliments
and admiration while breaking down over even the slightest bit of criticism.

We have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences.
