NER: jokes

Monterey Bay Aquarium has one too, and it's fantastic. I've gotten used to it; they only serve sustainably farmed/caught fish, and it's kind of their way of walking the walk and showing you how to do so also. But Mr.P was really pertrubed when I told him about the abalone and scallops I had last time I went.
Thanks for the laughs!
