Old joke....Old Dear goes into Fish Mongers..How much is the cod? ?4 per pound says fidhmonger..Got anything cheaper she says...Haddock...?3 per pound....Im a pensioner, got anything cheaper.. Got Whale meat, 50p per pound....I'll have 2pounds of that and can you throw the head in for the cat!

I don't get it...................WHY would she shop at a FISHMONGERS for a whale when it is a mammal?
Haddock........at todays Market Price is more expensive than Cod.
Perhaps you should START with COD, then drop to HOKI.
Either way, its still a crap joke

If you go to Japan, where whale-meat is still (regrettably but thankfully only occasionally) sold, they dispose of it via fishmongers.
Neither are shellfish (crustaceans/molluscs) fish, nor arenori or dulse (alga), all of which are sold mainly if not exclusively through mongers of fish.
The antipodean forumites might be less than impressed at our depredation of Southern Ocean fish-stocks like hoki and roughy, too.......which make our protests about the Spanish, etc, incursions into UK waters ring a little hollow.

Crap joke, though.

I always wondered what the Japanese did with their whales killed for 'scientific research'. So they DO sell the meat like the Norwegians?
The best site I EVER saw, and nothing comes a close second, is seeing 2 Pilot Whales leaping in the waters off Bermuda. Everyone stopped and stood open mouthed realising just how lucky they were to experience something so very rare

that should read 'sight' and NOT site............too much time spent on PC's

It's odd, that the only bits of the whales needed for Japanese and Norwegian 'scientific research' are the inedible bits.
Hence it is perfectly 'legitimate' for them to dispose of the other 'unwanted' body parts by whatever means they see fit...........heedless that the civilised world regards them as callous barbarians.

Most scientific estimates (or guesses, if you prefer....) equate the degree of sentience of some whales to about that of a 6-month old baby.
So next time a Japanese businessman 'honours' you by serving up whale-meat, tell him it's fine as long as he also serves up his neonate son and heir.

You're right..it was crap.....

Seymour nice try but your joke was total carp mate.
