If a Fish cries in the water, can anyone...?

MelloYello was discovered dead today due to a tragic accident.

As u know, the Koi in my pond have been trained to do tricks like swim, eat food and every now and then jump out of the water and do a loop. Sometime this morning, MelloYello, the most ambitious of my little fish, was training for a big jump without supervision, and found itself stuck in a flower pot that held one of my aquatic plants by the side of the pond.

This is a tragic loss to the fish community, as MelloYello was a huge contributor to the life and Nitrate content of the eco-culture. He must have suffered so much while waiting for someone to notice him and flick him back into the water.

He must have tried to communicate with us, as we see him here trying to make a call on a cell phone, but was unsuccessful in maneuvering through the digital phone entries to reach for help when it needed to.
This is a sad and little known fact that nowadays with our telephone technology so advanced that we can have over 1000 phone number and addresses and multimedia applications in our phones; yet we still have to press 10 buttons before we can access the right menu, then sub menu, then search the name, then choose "home" "work" "mobile" to then dial, then finally switch to "speaker phone" to avoid getting cancer of the ear.

"We've tried to make technology so simple to use, but not simple enough - not for a fish."

Had MelloYello only known that an emergency number was programmed into the voice activated auto-dial system which could have saved him all the fining around wasting precious time and oxygen; all he had to do was press a side button and yell "HELP" into the microphone and the authorities would have been summoned. Alas, this was impossible for MelloYello to do cause my STUPID PHONE DOES NOT WORK IN WATER!

So, its cries for help were hushed by by The Man and His Machine ...unless one of you got a call from my cell phone this morning, maybe there was a message left on your machine of gasping breaths...

It seems that MelloYello's passing is just another case of a deranged narcissist whose cries for help were not heard in a society that doesn't listen to the silent screams of its' various communities in this global eco-society.

We all must share the guilt of the death of MelloYello, the fish that was not understood...that, or the fact that I hadn't filled the pond to the top after it had drained accidentally during the building of the second pond and waterfall feature. We'll never know the truth, but I hope Barbara Walters is listening, as I feel a tear coming on.
