a dude came into the library stoned out of his mind and was like, “do I need a library card to look at books?” And I said, “to take books home, yes. To look at them, no” and he looked so relieved. bro was staring at a fish encyclopedia for like an hour and then just left.
Even hippos need an occasional spa day– that’s what barbel fish are for! A member of the carp family, these fish feed parasites, food bits, dead skin, and even dung from a hippo’s mouth and skin. The fish gets a tasty snack, and the hippo gets a deep clean: a win for everyone!
