Barracuda have perma-slime. You can't wash that crud off if you touch one.

That reminds me the first time I took my then girlfriend out fishing on the ocean with my two friends. In the middle of a wide open barracuda bite, Kevin decides his Denny's Super Bird sandwich is not sitting too well and strips down to his undies and jumps in the water, looking not unlike a giant gawky Irish manatee, swims about twenty feet away from the boat and promptly floats one, which, floats right back towards the boat. Good times.

That was the last time she went fishing with us.

Thanks, Kevin.
