Grandpa orca trying to amuse a baby

So I wore an salmon on my head, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Gimme five bees for a quarter," you'd say. Now where were we... oh yeah. The important thing was that I had an salmon on my head, which was the style at the time. I didn't have any pink salmon, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big white ones...
