so the fish were happily sitting in they're bowl sipping tea when an earthquake started shaking the house.  the bowl in which they were in slid of the edge of the table smashing to the ground and breaking releasing all of the water causing the poor fish to die a horrible death.
you will be missed by all fish!

will that do triadit?

 

by: triaditPosted on 2003-08-04 at 13:30:15ID: 9073875

that will do.  Although I was wondering why the bowl slid not the table falling over?

 

by: thesaint21Posted on 2003-08-04 at 13:40:45ID: 9073963

oh well up the table was sturdy and someone had left the fish bowl near the edge.   the table only bounced up and down causeing the fish bowl to creep closer and closer to the edge.  lol
