Overheard in TinyTown

This one's worth blogging, even though it happened at an aquaculture facility near TinyTown, as opposed to Roxby Downs' desert community.

An industry leader discussing why the tuna aren't naturally producing babies in captivity yet.
"When I was young, I could make love to any woman, any where, any time. Nowadays the mood has to be right, the lighting has to be right, the bed has to be right.
"The scientists tell me, fish are the same - everything must be just right."

This is the same man who, as the recipient of an Order of Australia, pointed out that when his tuna breed he'd like another award thankyou.
"I'm German - we like medals."
I suggested, perhaps, a helmet might be more appropriate in that case.
