Fish Bites Man

-A paragraph follows-
While in Africa challenging the accepted wisdom that tigerfish don't feed on the surface, a noted Western fly fisher found out why they're called tigerfish. After bringing one in, he remarked, "Looks like a striped bass in great need of orthodonture." The fish must have learned a little English somewhere because upon hearing the remark, it started snapping at the shins and toes of the famous Westerner like a bad-tempered daschund. Luckily, the great man was accompanied on this excursion into the back of nowhere by his daughter, a physician. She was able to treat the wound right there, forstalling one hundred and sixteen known infections. Later, with ointments and gauze swaddling his lower extremities, the wiser Wyoming angler exclaimed between lip smacks, "That toothy bastard is delicious".
