Flipper - It’s what for dinner
—”Flipper - It’s what for dinner”
I used that joke at a nice seafood restaurant ... my date had to ask the waiter!!!
Dolphin fish, not Flipper the mammal!
BASTARDS.
Absolutely barbaric-—dolphins are highly intelligent. What, they have nothing else to eat there?
Who are we to judge these beautiful other cultures and customs of indigenous peoples?
A nice seafood restaurant would label it Mahi Mahi, because it sounds more exotic.
Hey! The tuna doesn’t taste as good as it used to!
Weemsco Tuna!
If you are going to EAT them then fine, If not leave them alone if you can.
Well,they must not be that smart?

Weemsco Tuna! Chock-full of Dolphin!
Just remember dolphins eat tuna. So, for every can of tuna you eat, means another dolphin goes hungry. 😏
