Sitting around the studio at KPTV 12 one fine evening, several of us engineers were discussing sea food. I was bragging about some great mahi mahi, a type of dolphin fish, I had eaten at a restaurant in Honolulu. The weather gal was writing her stuff on the weather board in grease pen (we were pretty primitive at that time), and she overheard what I was saying.
She stopped writing, turned around and screamed in anguish at me, "You eat Flipper!" I had to explain to her the difference between dolphin the fish and dolphin the mammal. I was never really sure she understood, and we engineers still had a laugh at her expense.
