mmmmm, dolphin

At $10 a person, movie theaters seem to have gotten even more exorbitant than they should be. Of course, I apologize if you're a big fan of sticky floors, overpriced food, and getting charged to watch 30 minutes worth of bad advertisements.

So tonight, we had an inexpensive family night. From the comfort of our home, we sort of watched "Dolphin Tale". AND for only $1.32! That's right, I made tuna fish sandwiches.


No, no, no.  I'm sorry.  While I haven't seen the movie, "Dolphin Tale" is supposed to be a good family story. It's about a dolphin who's loses his flukes in an accident and about the good, brave humans who help this poor mammal so the other sea creatures won't laugh at him.

It reminds me of a friend who bought his dolphin at a less-than reputable pet store a few years ago. His new pet had been playfully frolicking in his pool for a few days when the animal's tail fins suddenly fell off.

Well, my friend was quite upset. He took the dolphin back to the pet store and got a bit of a refund. The store owner would only pay wholesale because, after all, they couldn't retail the dolphin. What a fluke...
