OF FISHES AND WIFIS


The fisherman — since he will die, I shall call him fisherman…no need to get emotionally attached with him- the fisherman was sick and tired of going out in the sea everyday and be deprived of the wonders of wireless network during his work hours. So he conceived a brilliant idea (in his opinion anyways) of catching fish, feeding them wifi routers and releasing them back to the sea. That way he might still be able to connect to the internet.

He used up his entire year’s salary to buy loads of routers and went out fishing early morning. By the end of the day he had caught hundreds of fishes and he went about pushing the wifi router down each one of their throats. He then released the fishes in the sea.

Alas, as soon as the fishes hit the sea they all got electrocuted and sizzled up. The fisherman, rather disheartened and too tired to row back (plus sea was pretty calm) decided to spend the night on the boat.

That night the fisherman had a strange dream of being carried by a strange sea creatures to the bottom of the ocean. His head was encased in a bubble that let him breath underwater. After a while he realised that he must be standing at what could only be describes as a “Fish Court”. There were various sea creatures sitting at the jury and where at the judge’s place there was a wise, giant squid.

Squid: Human, you have been sentenced to death for the murder of several innocent fishes.

Fisherman: This is a rather strange dream….but anyhoo..shouldn’t i get a lawyer?

Squid: We don’t work your way. It is slow, rather tedious and hardly yields results. Guards! Feed this man to the sharks!

The last thing that the fisherman thought, before the shark jaws closed in on him, was “This is the part where I wake up…”

The next day the local fishermen were surprised and rather horrified to find a boat drifting in the sea on its own and several human body parts washed up on the beach.

Curiously enough, they found several fishes with, what seemed to be, electronic components inside them.

Moral: You are not going to die if you really have to go without wifi.
