fish for sale. fresh fish.

Does anyone around here go ice-fishing?
Put me in touch with a man who rolls his little shanty onto the ice,
hauls out a saw, and sets out tip-ups.
I have some business to do with him.

Perch. O my.
You just lightly bread those little babies
and fry them up in a bit of butter.
Pull up your chair, mister.
tuck a napkin under your chin
for here they come
snapping hot.

Perch.
O my.

So... this fellow decides he wants to try ice fishing. Goes to a sporting goods store and gets the whole outfit, then heads out to give it a try. Just as he starts hacking a hole, he hears this booming voice saying:
"Attention: there are no fish under the ice."
Startled, he looks around and doesn't see anybody, so he goes back to chipping out a hole.
"I said, there are no fish under the ice!"
The man looks around, still doesn't see anyone, then looks up and says, "Uh, God, is that you?"
"No, it's the rink announcer!"
