They're mammals and they have no odor.

Personal perspective, way to much info there.

In most countries that have canned dolphin shows, $100 can buy
you a whole lot of affection (or infection).

Normalcy is a relative term, and none of mine are.

Not without a marriage license there, Joe. this is a rental thing,
not lease with option to buy. Who's gonna buy the dolphin when you get
the blow hole for free?


Most of the better Canned Dolphin Circuses have a dining package
available. For as little as $14.99 (salad bar extra) you can get a fine
Dolphin Steak. They let you "pick your own" like a lobster joint will.

Yeah--a 200# chicken with no feathers and eats fish.

Obviously you haven't been around one that hasn't bathed for a few days.

He meant one who is fascinated by beasties, Doc. Not the other kind.

Concentrated, yet.

Usual term for swimming with dolphins is a sense of awe and wonder (on the
part of the park owner at how much money from suckers he's raking in).

But without the receipt, you don't get the bennies.

Is that the place in Cozumel north of the cruise ship dock?

Hey Joe...FYI, "dolphin steak" would be cut from a dolphin fish. To
swim with the dolphins would be porpoise.
I swam with the Stingrays...got something to say about that?

Only the better places will serve the "flipper" type of dolphin. Check
the Michelin Guide. Only third rate dumps will try to scam you by
serving you fish dolphin. Go for the mammal, Mam.

Try the garlic lemon. They can do a "stuufed" presentation with a
butterlied steak. Stuffings may include Snail Darter Filets or Spotted
Owl Liver Pate.

Use one of those mellon ball kitchen tools on their wings. It makes the
stingray meat look like scallops. (I'm not kidding- this is done!)

I have swam with dolphins twice and it has been the most wonderful
experience.They were gentle and very bright.It was well worth the $$.

If they spend that kind of money you betcher arse it's on porpoise. And
they work for scale.

Yes.

Those would be the dead ones, dear.

The best thing about diving on what was supposed to be the
sardine shoal (s.e.africa) for me this year (the shoals weren't
there) was snorkelling with passing pods of dolphins. Wild ones,
just free-flowing down the coast, having a look as they passed by.
All for free. It would have lacked everything if these dolphins
were forced to take an interest in me.

It's better than walking with them.

Like I was saying (and remember Ken, I'm a dude so don't get all sweet on me
<g>).

There's absolutely no comparison.
