Dusty the Asthma Goldfish
I was cleaning out my desk (since I'm changing jobs soon) when I ran across an unopened box of free educational materials. There was a fun coloring book for children about cockroaches and how to prevent them from infesting your home. But even better was this book. Here's a picture of the cover.
I was filled with glee for a good half hour looking at this.
However, I'm still wondering how they chose a goldfish as the asthmatic's mascot. Could it be that when the goldfish is out of water, it gasps for breath like an asthmatic? But in that case, the goldfish is gasping because it has too much air; it needs fluids in the lungs, doesn't it? It seems so backwards, so tragic. And yet, so terribly amusing. I mean, it's a funbook...even better is that it's an asthma triggers funbook. How many times in your life have you heard those words together?
Whew! When I saw that title, I thought you had picked a new name for your band.
Although, The Asthma Triggers wouldn't be so bad.
Oh, and Dusty is online as a PDF download. (Near the end of the page.)
You know I found that pdf as I posted it, but I didn't think anyone would really be interested in it. So I didn't post the link.
But thanks for posting it, because you're right, most readers of this blog are bored enough to further investigate any subject.
