Jimmy the fish has a problem. He stinks. He smells really bad. None of the women fish like him. So Jimmy tries everything to solve the problem. He takes a bath 18 times a day. He brushes his teeth 50 times a day. In fact he is hardcore about cleanliness. But it doesn’t work. So Jimmy goes to a doctor in Crawford, Texas for help. Jimmy says, “Doctor, I’ve tried everything. I’ve pieced together a hardcore cleanliness plan. I bathe 18 times a day and I brush my teeth 50 times a day.” The doctor says, “I know the answer. It’s a no-brainer. Just rub olive oil on your skin every day. Then you will smell better.” Well, Jimmy does exactly what the doctor says. Every day he rubs olive oil on his body. But he still stinks. So next Jimmy goes to a doctor in San Francisco. Jimmy says, “Doctor, I’ve tried everything, but nothing seems to work. Nothing works.” Well, the San Francisco doctor says, “Your past solutions were all over the place. Your actions were scattershot. You need a better plan.” Then the doctor says, “You must eat 600 green vegetables every day. Do that and you will smell great. It will be like a breath of fresh air for you. And for everyone else.” Well, Jimmy is excited. He follows the San Francisco doctor’s advice. He eats 600 green vegetables a day and it works. After four days, Jimmy is much better. He smells good. And all the women fish love him. *
