In my email at work today

"Hello All-
I know this is a bizarre subject for an email, but here is the situation.... my 18 year old son bought a 20 gallon aquarium and all the filters, etc. and two "Oscar Fish" this summer, that he named Cheech and Chong.

But you say my 18 year old son bought a 20 gallon and two oscars and he named them Cheech and Chong?

Maybe I'm not reading things right???

That is in quotes. It seemed to me that coupled with the heading in my email at work today it would be apparent to all who can read what was going on. Apparently I was wrong.

The part between quotation marks ("") is the body of an email sent to all those on email in my building. It is a request for help from the sender who has no clue about fish, and my guess is little knowledge about her son who is so willing to set the fish out in the snow and cold to die. I am attempting to find a home for these fish, fish I can't take in without buying a large tank just for them. I have found a pet shop willing to take them and will try to get that done in the morning.

Is it clear now?
 
Hint:

See the " at the beginning and end of the first paragraph; it's an email that is being quoted!

Kids these days....

he just posted the email he got from a co worker, hope they find a the oscars a new home
 
I am concerned that someone clueless will buy the tank and fish, and the two fish will slowly die from their own waste in a to small tank.
 
If you can take the fish off her hands (or her sons hands) and take them to a LFS.

The fish will be better off with you, even if in a too small of tank, than with someone that is too lazy to take care of them and most likely will kill them.

Maybe you can keep the tank for yourself.

Also, hats off to the Mom who sent out an email to save the fish.

Keep us posted.
 
Let's try to read posts from now on. That's one of my biggest pet peeves of this board, it seems people only read what they want to.
