Fish stockings Sam

There once was a man named Sam and he sold fish stockings for a living. Mind you a fish stocking is a stocking for a little girls lets but it has been designed out of fish net-like materials.   Sam was a rising star in the Olympics and he was very unique.  Sam was the first Olympian star that ever had a completely silver collection of eagles that he loved with all of his heart.  This collection was silver and it was unusual.  There were many Olympians who had eagle collections but theirs were almost always white bald eagles.  Sam's was silver but that was really not that big a surprise.  Many silver collections of eagles were known to man, just not a top Olympian's collection.  Sam won many medals and they all looked good on his shirt at the end of the day.  Sam was rich and happy and one day Sam was offered work in the scuba diving gear business.  This seemed to go with his fish stocking sales because ladies and even men looked good if they wore fish stockings under their wet suit.  So Sam had a lot on his plate.
I liked Sam a lot, but I will tell you Sam was interesting but not special in that he really did not look that original when I saw him dance.  He liked to dance to all the usual tunes and he was popular in the like. But his dance was uninteresting.  He danced all day long once and he told the world that it was ok to buy barbecues in the city of Mosul, Iraq.  I listened carefully for at this stage of Sam's career, he was a well regraded owner of an immaculate Silver Eagle Collection.  So Sam was intelligent and I bet he was a great dancer in his earlier days.  But why did he choose to do the hokey pokey when he could really have don't the jig?  That's all I ask.  Sam, I like your energy and enthusiasm, but your dancing was quite stale.  So if I choose to buy a barbecue in Iraq, I pray that you understand that your dance was the thought behind the day's activity.  And if you dance again, I might not be buying electric guitars in Pakistan this time.  Thanks.
