I'm am quite sure that normally fish pie is a good thing, a wholesome
thing, a thing like noodle salad at the lake or uncle Jake's
overbite...It is just, well you've never met the Ex....on a good day she
burnt water. I figure after another year of therapy or so I'll be able to
look at boiling water without needing to have a fire extinguisher at
hand, gasp in wonder at frozen Ice Cream or stop putting clark bars in
public swimming pools.

(Cue over-dramatic music) And she made me...TUM TUM TUM the pie that
contained a fish-like substance floating in a greasy mess of burnt peas,
clumps of flour and spinach......I had to make bullets melted down the
silver Madonna to kill it as it was totally unflushable. And just thank
god there wasn't a full moon that night. Thus began the 28 year saga of
my married life...Me, my new wife and the pie from hell TUM TUM TUM.
