A shark hospitalised a British tourist visiting Trinidad and Tobago. on 26th April 2024, so this is… a joke at his and his wife’s expense, I suppose. But I also suppose that tourists around the world are getting attacked by sharks on most days, so maybe it isn’t personal. To be exact, a news report says that “Last year, there were 69 unprovoked attacks and 22 provoked bites worldwide, along with 14 fatalities, according to the Florida-based International Shark Attack File.” Well, those are the ones that have someone still around afterwards to get in touch with Florida and let them know.
Maybe this apparatus has different plumbing. I mean, your typical cartoon fishbowl has no exit.
The cartoon plays on the convention of disposing of a dead fish by flushing it, possibly with the water from the bowl, usually when the children aren’t aware. But in fact, authorities ask that you don’t flush anything except for human outputs, and the special paper that you wipe with, specifically excluding most feminine hygiene disposable products, because they, and dead fish, are liable to stick before going very far.
Refuse and recycling collection often meets interference from organized crime, or close friends of local government people, or close friends of local government people who also are in organized crime.
They gave me a burgundy colour bin for glass (bottles and jars, any colour, nothing else). A little joke maybe. But now that goes in the grey bin with metal cans and acceptable plastics, and the burgundy bin is for compostable material. And the blue one is now for paper and card only.
Another saying is “Make hay while the sun shines”, which is literally sensible (but do wear sunscreen) and proverbially… it complicates the issue. I suppose it is to make hay for a rainy day.
The headline result in Google is from… “First Bank of Nigeria”. Hmm… It does mean, “Store money, or other resources, so that if you have a need in the future for stored resources, you have them.” Wise, although there does come to mind the counter-case, that you should fix your roof before rain comes – and that means spending money.
Also, a British inversion is to store water when it rains, so that you have water to use when it doesn’t rain.
It’s much the same if the ladies in this picture believe that the crescent moon has sharp points on the crescent.
But I suppose that this is set in a cartoon world, or a nursery rhyme world, in which jumping over the moon without assistance from NASA or people like that is possible.
