Bad Bob's "Thought for the Week"

[RAM]

Which of the following freshwater fish names is/are technically incorrect? The first correct answer gets a free ticket or a three day vacation in Beirut, your choice! Bad Bob

Black Bass
Brook Trout
White Bass

PS: Lay off Roger!

[Ron Mc]

two.

Black Bass - - not a bass at all, it's a centriarchid - a sunfish

Brook Trout - not a trout at all, it's a char.

Cool Ron! Clearly the winner. Only the white bass (Morone chrysops) is a true freshwater bass. You now have to make the choice-Three days in Beirut or a free ticket? Bad Bob
(PS There is at least an even chance now you will survive three days in Beirut)

[Ron Mc]

well, gee I guess I'll take the ticket?

[Nemo]

Ram didn’t you offer a free bullet proof vest (with a bulls eyes painted on the back) for the contest winner of the Bagdad trip you offered a couple of years ago.

Perhaps you could offer one of those Mohamed bomb T-Shirts to liven up the Lebanon trip.

Ron-Forgot to say the free ticket was a one-way to Bagdad, so you might want to reconsider the Beirut trip. One problem-There has been some minor structural damage to your hotel. May take awhile to rebuild-with your tax dollars, of course. But I understand the fishing there (Lebanon, not Iraq) is excellent. Bon voyage! Bad Bob

[Ron Mc]

can I change my answer?

[RAM]

Ron-The offer has been withdrawn. Dallying over my offers for more than 24 hours automatically invalidates them. You should always read the fine print. As I see it, you are hence the REAL winner. Bad Bob
PS I'm surprised Steve didn't bug me about misspelling Baghdad!

[Steve]

Yo Bob! "Baghdad" is even harder to spell than "Facts," so it didn't seem fair to bug you.

[RAM]

Well Steve, at least I didn't misspell misspell! Bad Bob
