About Fish Or Something

Something WONDERFUL there is
Being a big fish in a big stream

BUT!

Being a little fish in a big stream?
One gets swallowed up

How about
Being a big fish in a little stream?
Hell YES!

BUT!

When one is a little fish in a little stream

OR

When one is a little fish in a big stream

He/she
Turns to religion
Generally

Kristin Reynolds Date: 5/13/2009 2:00:00 AM I think I'd rather be a little fish in a big steam, but with legs. that way I can take my vacation on land and see what that's all about. :) love it, you never cease to surprise me, daver! Kristin Login to Reply

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 5/12/2009 5:00:00 PM Very poignant commentary, Daver, and I know this comes from your heart. Did you read the book "Big Fish"? It's about a larger-than-life character who enjoyed being a big fish in a small pond. It seems there are all kinds of things that make people turn to religion. Very well stated!
