Other Uses for Babel Fish

2 Conversations

For generations (namly one or two) hundreds and perhaps thousands of people have heard of the Bable Fish. It is featured in The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the galaxy by Douglas N. Adams. It's that little yellow fish that, once placed in the ear, feeds off of other people's brainwaves. It's main function is to translate. But, I have a different manner for it's use of translation.

As we all know, these days, a lot of bullcrap (commanly known as bulls**t) is going round. Now, wouldn't it be nice to decode all those lies into the truth? Well, here is the easiest way to do it.

Take your handy-dandy Bable Fish out of your ear and instead, put it up your rear. It will continue to feed off of other people's brainwaves. It will also translate like it used to. But now, you'll hear only the truth. Isn't that a relief? No more going into a high-stakes meeting and having to deal with some truth, half truths and out-rite lies and then loosing everything because you could not correctly interpret what bullcrap was going round. Now, you can know for certain what is going round.

And so there you have it. The modern, 22nd century-way of having a Bable Fish. Instead of it in your ear, you place it up your rear.
