4. Glad you'd noticed the change !
They deleted what I'd accurately reiterated. Looks even funnier now. Doesn't say whether it's his front perch, back perch , or a German Perch 911.

Almost as comical as the Irish guy who was paid $100 to paint to a porch white and having done so asked the homeowner why he didn't like the car in it's original red.

Here's a proper one : http://www.swinton54.freeserve.co.uk/species/perch.html A 5lb one here would be monster and as rare as our +55lb carp.

6. It was no translation error...

The perch that live in Mr. Bush's lake are full of 201.39% more crap than normal perch. He was completely correct.

They also have a special adaptation that allows them to defecate out of their mouths.

8. Here's what it says now.
Trivia
George W. Bush is translated as saying that the best moment of his tenure in office was "when I caught a 7.5 lb (3.4 kg) perch in my lake," five years after taking up office as President. <1>. Since the largest yellow perch on record weighs only 4.2 pounds, it was evident there was a translation error. The correct translation was a Largemouth Bass.


I think it's funnier than the original. The implication is that he doesn't speak English and needs to be translated. It's actually the truth, but few people are willing to come right out and say it.

I wonder how long that bit will last.
