okay, i’m going to go on the record right now as to say that most of you won’t get this and\u00c2 you will probably think i wasted your time even submitting this for you to read. i was going through some email from work and found this email thread between someone i work with and myself. the messages were being sent out to all of the managers in our division (whom i think don’t got the humor either). to me, this is one of the funnier email threads that i’ve been involved in. maybe it’s just because i know the other party involved, i’m not sure, but it makes me laugh and maybe one day someone in my posterity will get it also.the setup<\/em>: last august we had a managers retreat down in san diego and one evening we went out to eat at a really nice restaurant and i had the mahi mahi. the person sitting next to me (the one with whom i had the email thread) informed me that mahi mahi was actually a type of dolphin. this sounded kind of fishy to me (pun intended. and yes, i know that dolphins are mammals) so i did some research. and here we go…From: Steven HellerSent: Friday, September 14, 2007 4:42 PMTo: D1 Managers<\/strong>Subject: Mahi MahiThe Mahi-mahi, Coryphaena hippurus, also known as dolphin, common dolphin-fish, dorado maverikos, or lampuki (in Maltese) are surface-dwelling ray-finned fish found in off-shore tropical and subtropical waters worldwide. They are one of only two members of the Coryphaenidae family, the other being the Pompano dolphinfish. The name “mahi-mahi” (“strong-strong” in Hawaiian), particularly used on restaurant menus, has been adopted in recent years to avoid confusing these fish with dolphins, which are mammals.<\/strong><\/em>MOTED. \u00c2 \u00c2 <\/strong>(for the unitiated, this means that\u00c2 he just got served)<\/em><\/strong>Steven HellerDistrict Sales Manager________________________________________From: Brady HarrisSent: Friday, September 14, 2007 6:00 PMTo: D1 Managers<\/strong>Subject: RE: Mahi MahiThey are one of only two members of the Coryphaenidae family, the other being the Pompano dolphinfish. Mahi-mahi have a lifespan of no more than three to four years. Catches average 7 to 13 kg (15 to 28 pounds). They seldom exceed 15 kg (33 pounds), and any Mahi-mahi over 18 kg (39 pounds) is exceptional. Mahi-mahi have compressed bodies and long dorsal fins extending almost the entire length of their bodies. Their anal fins are sharply concave. While named the dolphin-fish they are by classification of the Reynolds Transited scale a member of the Dolphin mammal simoom or \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcfamily.\u00e2\u20ac\u2122<\/strong><\/em> They are distinguished by dazzling colors: golden on the sides, bright blues and greens on the sides and back. Mature males also have prominent foreheads protruding well above the body proper. Females have a rounded head. The males and female have similar shaped bodies except for their heads. Females are usually smaller than the males.REVERSE MOTATION.

I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m pretty sure you just made it up. Google tells me that there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s no such thing as a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Reynolds Transited scale\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.
