Male whale comes home wearing a chef hat. He says, "I'm home, honey!". The wife has a small lady fish next to her and replies, "Hey, our neighbour Susie is here-". Her husband cuts her off and says "Oh nice, sorry but I need to go lie down. It was a very tiring day at work." He exits while saying "They ordered so much Salmon!". Bunch of papers fall from the small lady fish's fins as she says "WHAT." with shock in her eyes. The papers say "Missing Husband" with a photo of a salmon fish. The small lady fish is also a salmon fish.
