#1 "Wrong The Wrong Orbit". Some Science Fiction tale? Is the Wrong Orbit's name "Wrong"? Doesn't anybody proof read what they write? Layers and layers of editors and fact-checkers indeed! Perhaps I should have said "poof read". Time for another wee drap of Laphroaig.

#3 Paris (TX) in the the Spring

Opined an old bass in Lake Tyler,
"Of all the amphibious phyla,
My favorite, by far,
As retrieved from that car,
Is this stuff that hopped over from Islay!"

Poetic fishing license: AFAIK, there's no actual "Lake Tyler" thereabouts.

#4 An ichthyologist partial to whisky
In Lake Tyler found a dram (more or less) of Talisk-y
He said with a grin
As he wiped off his chin
"O me whiskers but Talisker be frisky!"
