Title bar: "Funtime Activity: Euphemisms for Non-Taboo Subjects." In a pet store, a dark-haired man speaks nervously and coyly to a red-haired shopkeeper (shown from behind), saying he'd like to buy "a little something for my tank." The shopkeeper plainly asks, "A fish?" The customer recoils as if scandalized: "Sir, there are ladies present." A goldfish in a small bowl sits on the counter. The joke is that he's treating an ordinary, non-taboo purchase as if it were something shameful that must be spoken of in hushed euphemisms. Votey: The customer adds he'll "also need a baggy of... thin ones," the shopkeeper guesses "Fish flakes?", and the customer cries "Blaggard!" as if deeply offended.
