How to Properly Eat Fish

1. When your students excitedly ask if you like fish...place a grin on your face and nod your head.
2. Wait expectantly for the food to arrive...
3. Have your students eat first (this ensures the fish finishes cooking in the soup and allows someone else to find the head)
4. Carefully use your chopsticks to find some fish in the huge bowl of soup in the center of the table an entire arm's distance away.
5. Place fish on bowl of rice. 
6. Talk with a student while carefully inspecting your piece for gills, eyes, and scales.
7. Place fish in mouth - DO NOT SWALLOW!
8. Chew...while chewing search for bones with your tongue.
9. Upon finding bones spit them out onto the table.
10. Repeat steps 4-9
11. Walk home in the freezing cold
12. Spend the rest of the afternoon trying to cough up the bone stuck in your throat
13. Go to a team dinner and choke in front of everyone.
14. Eat a ton of rice hoping to dislodge the fish bone...
15. Write a blog
