"Hello, I would like to buy a fish license"1
"A what?"2
"A license for my pet fish, Eric."3
"How did you know my name was Eric?"4
"No no, my fish's name is Eric; Eric the Fish."5
"You have a fish, named 'Eric'?"6
"Yes, and I would like to buy a fish license for him."7
"You don't need a license for a pet fish."8
"What?"9
"You don't need a fish license."10
"But I have a license for my pet dog Eric, and my pet cat Eric so I should have one for my pet fish Eric."11
"You don't need a license for a pet cat..."12
"Well I bloody well have one!"13
"No you don't..."14
"Then what's this then?"15
"That's a dog license with 'dog' scratched out and 'cat' written in in crayon."16
"They didn't have the right type."17
"Who didn't have the right type?"18
"Never mind that! I want a license for my pet fish, Eric"19
"Are all your pets called 'Eric'?"20
"Yes, what about it?"21
"You're a loony."22
"Now look here! There is nothing wrong with me calling all my pets Eric. It's people like you that cause unrest!"23
"Alright, alright. So you want a license?"24
"Yes."25
"For a fish?"26
"Yes."27
"You are a loony."28
"Now look here! I came here for a fish license and if I don't get one I just might leave!"29
[The licenser takes out a dog license and scratches out "dog" and writes in "fish" with a crayon.]30
"Here is your fish license. Good morning!"31
"Alright. Thank you sir for this marvelous fish license. Eric will be so happy when I get home."32
