Diet
The young lady, who was something of a food faddist, was on a visit to a coast fishing village. She questioned her host as to the general diet of the natives, and was told that they subsisted almost entirely on fish. The girl protested:
‘But fish is a brain food, and these folks are really the most unintelligent-looking that I ever saw.’
‘Maybe so,’ the host agreed. ‘And just think what they'd look like if they didn't eat fish!’
