A bit fishy!

Written by  The Hound

OPINION: A mate flew from Auckland to Nelson a couple of weeks ago to participate in an annual fishing and imbibing competition in the Marlborough Sounds.

As usual, it was a great success - including the fishing.

Our hero packaged a couple of boxes of fish to bring back home.

All labelled correctly, he waited at the Auckland baggage carousel; his luggage came along but no boxes of fish.

After waiting, he enquired at the bag counter and was advised to look at a door as sometimes these packages were left there.

It was suggested he leave his address and they'd courier the fish to him if they were ever found.

Getting a little hot under the collar, our mate asked where the police desk was so he could report the fish boxe missing or stolen.

Shortly, a trolley arrived with the said two boxes of fish.

Perhaps, some mutts thought they were in for a free feed.
