 JW> To further confuse things, Walleyes are called "pickerel"
 JW> but the true pickerel is really a kind of pike!
 JW> I hope that helps. [g]

 NB> Yup...  confusion is certainly helped...  (G)

I find local fish nomenclature even sloppier than plant names.

  Subj: Marketing

 JW> I have back-up ad campaigns already lined up:
 JW> "Naturally raised in actual gold mines."
 JW> "Absolutely no proven fatalities whatsoever."
 JW> "A unique health food as potent as any three patent medicines."

 NB> The first might fly... the other two are likely to raise doubts
 NB> in the border-line skeptics...  ;)

I'm not the only one cashing in on the trend of turning pollution
into health food...

Organic Water May Be Toxic

The Pittsburgh Organic Water Bottling Company sells consumers
on the idea of "fresh water." Critics and scientists say this
product may be too fresh.

The water is served in a clear bottle however the end product has a
tannish brown color with river settlement on the bottom.

"People love the farm fresh produce, so why not do the same thing
with water? And that's how we came up with the idea of river fresh
drinking water. We scoop bottles of fresh Monogahela water and send
it straight to our retail outlets. You can't get any fresher," CEO
Fartke says. 

Pittsburgh has some of the most polluted rivers in all of America
which has raised some concerns with health nuts and scared pussy lab
geeks that think drinking water straight from a polluted river is
dangerous. Studies show that the risks of consuming river water
could be fatal at worst and a regrettable decision at the very
least.

Fartke and his staff aren't just about bringing a questionable
product to the market, they are serious about recycling too. 
"We are a green company. We don't have a manufacturing plant for the
bottling process. We simply have a team of trash pickers that sift
through only the best landfills and trash cans for empty water
bottles. The bottles are then written on with a Sharpie indicating
the flavor. Right now we only carry "Monongahela Punch" but as long
as the law suits are minimal and we have no fatalities, we plan on
introducing, "Mississippi Mistake" "Thames Trouble" and "Colorado
Kick. We hope to have a kids product next fall which will be smaller
in size. We are collecting old baby food jars for that initiative."

The great recession may have slowed down our once mighty economy,
but it cannot stop the ingenuity and drive of the American
entrepreneur.
