something smells a little fishy

i'm still recovering from the marketing conference. while interesting, a lot of it was common sense. plus, it was held at fisherman's wharf, so i'm still trying to get over the influx of tourists, overpriced nicknacks, and trying to avoid fish for meals. in fact, the first night of the conference, they held a dinner where they offered three main course options. three, you say! what choices! yep. beef, chicken, and fish. where's the veggie option? i asked the conference head and he said "fish." um. no. fish isn't a vegetable. it's got eyes, a skeleton, produces eggs that give way to more little fishies, etc. just because salmon is orange and carrots are orange, this doesn't not equal salmon with carrots. the associative property or whatever it is doesn't work in this instance. so i feigned a sinus headache to get out of it. whew.
