Corrections, nay, clarification, on the parrot fish

So, in the all too familiar ritual of clarifying earlier reporting, I have to add a slight alteration to my narrative of the great parrot fish story.

But it actually makes the story cooler, and proves that even the feminist intellectualizing inculcated into me during my four-year venture into incredibly expensive liberal arts education has been lost.

So, it turns out, as it turns out with many a legend, men had nothing to do with the vanquishing of the parrot fish.

In fact, the women at the pond, who were using the citrus limes to scent their hair, used a more subtle tact to defeat the fish.

They  made their hair into a net and charmed the fish to the surface.

Much better.
