Horrible Jokes from the Halmonster, Pt. 1

Jimmy: 'Hey, Mike! How's your new pet fish doing?
You told me he was really something special.'

Mike: 'To tell the truth, I'm really disappointed in
him. The guy who sold him to me said I could
teach him to sing like a bird.'

Jimmy: 'What? Let me get this straight... You
bought a fish because you thought you could
teach him to sing like a bird?'

Mike: 'Well, yeah. After all, you know, he's a
parrot fish.'

Jimmy: 'Now listen, Mike, while you might be
able to teach a parrot to sing, you're never
going to get anywhere with a parrot fish.'

Mike: 'That's what you think! It just so happens
this fish CAN sing. The thing is, he's terribly
off-key and it's driving me crazy. Do you
know how hard it is to tuna fish?'

Now, I'm an old school Unix geek. Back in the day, there was a hidden comment inside the manual page documentation for a program called tunefs, which included a more concise version of the joke that went: You can tune a filesystem, but you can't tuna fish.

If you know any other good singing jokes, please send them my way. You can send bad ones too, come to think of it.
