Tappy the Eel Thrower
There was once a friend of mine, or really just a professional acquaintance to be perfectly honest and she was named Tappy. Tappy was a busy lady and she often dined in the finest of restaurants when it was time to have business meetings abroad. She was intelligent and she was orthodox, but sadly I must say, Tappy had a small problem. She liked to go to the aquariums and visit the Eels. When she went though, she would roll up her sleeves and grab the eel and toss it at the Manta Rays. I do not know why she did this but it did not make a single person unhappy. The aquarium was happy all the time when she visited and the bosses at work knew of her peculiarity and they even liked her more for it. That was good and fine. But sadly, one day she tossed an eel into a sharks path and the shark sort of had a little dinner. It was not the best day at the aquarium but Tappy still was able to show up and visit the eels. So if you meet Tappy, please be advised that she is a special person to me and that every time I think of her, I will always consider that she really liked to make Manta Rays and Eels friends in life. Not that shark incident. Heavens no.
