Having spent my career in the fish biz, your screen name caught my eye.....and reminded me of a seasoned customer who continued to pronounce 'prawns' as 'prongs'.

"Ship me 20 cases of Jumbo Prongs".

To: ErnBatavia; PlateOfShrimp

I’m betting his handle comes from Repo Man:

“Miller: A lot o’ people don’t realize what’s really going on. They view life as a bunch o’ unconnected incidents ‘n things. They don’t realize that there’s this, like, lattice o’ coincidence that lays on top o’ everything. Give you an example; show you what I mean: suppose you’re thinkin’ about a plate o’ shrimp. Suddenly someone’ll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o’ shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin’ for one, either. It’s all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

Otto: You eat a lot of acid, Miller, back in the hippie days?

Miller: I’ll give you another instance: you know how everybody’s into weirdness right now?... “
