[Rhodes22-list] Question - Fish Smell

[Brad Haslett]

Rory,

Yeah, I'm already referring to it as the 'shrimpmobile'.  Actually, I'm
thinking about driving it to Gulfport and offering it to the Vietnamese guy
we bought the shrimp from.  I figure if he never takes a day off from work
(and they don't) he'll never know the difference.
