More holey than righteous!

Far away in the tropical waters of the Caribbean, two prawns were

swimming around in the sea - one called Justin and the other called

Christian. The prawns were constantly being harassed and threatened by

sharks that patrolled the area.

Finally one day Justin said to Christian, "I'm bored and frustrated at

being a prawn, I wish I was a shark, then I wouldn't have any worries

about being eaten..."

As Justin had his mind firmly on becoming a predator, a mysterious cod

appears and says, "Your wish is granted", and lo and behold, Justin

turned into a shark. Horrified, Christian immediately swam away, afraid

of being eaten by his old mate.

Time went on (as it invariably does...) and Justin found himself

Becoming bored and lonely as a shark. All his old mates simply swam away

whenever he came close to them. Justin didn't realise that his new

menacing appearance was the cause of his sad plight. While out swimming

alone one day he sees the mysterious cod again and can't believe his

luck. Justin figured that the fish could change him back into a prawn.

He begs the cod to change him back so, lo and behold, he is turned back

into a prawn.

With tears of joy in his tiny little eyes, Justin swam back to his

friends and bought them all a cocktail.

(The punch line does not involve a prawn cocktail - it's much worse).

Looking around the gathering at the reef, he searched for his old pal.

"Where's Christian?" he asked.

"He's at home, distraught that his best friend changed sides to the

enemy and became a shark", came the reply.

Eager to put things right again and end the mutual pain and torture, he

set off to Christian's house.

As he opened the coral gate the memories came flooding back. He banged

on the door and shouted, "It's me, Justin, your old friend, come out and

see me again.

"Christian replied "No way man, you'll eat me. You're a shark, the enemy

and I'll not be tricked. " Justin cried back "No, I'm not. That was the

old me. I've changed."...(wait for it) . .

...."I've found Cod, I'm a prawn again Christian".

If it is OK with you, I'd like to re-print this in the newsgroup alt.callahans, with the attribution of your name if you give the OK, or without it if that is what you prefer. This newsgroups just adores puns.

Andrew,

I love puns too, but I regret that I am not the original author of this, just the plagiarist.

If you do decide to post it, just credit it to an 'unknown' author.
