A Vet, he's not

Bobby has a fish tank. It's rather new and so he is still paying attention to all the details that keep it fresh and clean looking. He was recently doing a "water exchange" - where he empties some of the water and replaces it with fresh, oxygenated water - when a tragedy occurred. One of his fish got sucked up into the drain hose. The noise startled him and when he saw what was happening, he immediately cut the line and tried to rescue the fish.

Mr. Wonderful, hearing the commotion, came running. "I think I can save it", he said. He immediately took the fish and began swishing it around in the fish tank. When nothing happened, he took the fish and THREW it into the fish tank (trying to shock him,I think). Bobby stood by, helpless. He was also trying not to pee his pants at the site of his father breaking a sweat while attemption to bring a 2 inch tropical fish back to life.

Finally, they gave the fish a decent send off - into the tropical fish whirlpool, otherwise known as the porcelain throne. May he rest in peace.
