    Why, dear reader, must you NEVER EVER trust fish?

    1) They spend all their time in the water where we can’t see them.
    2) Some are as big as a bus—that is not okay.
    3) We don't know what they're teaching in their "schools."
    4) They are likely plotting our doom.

    This nature-guide-gone-wrong is a hilarious, off-the-rails exploration of the seemingly innocent animals that live in the water.
