Most kids say they want to be an astronaut or a fire fighter when they grow up… Me.. I wanted to be a dolphin trainer. Fucking love dolphins. This was pre Black Fish and all the justifiable hate Sea World gets, so don’t attack 5 year old Scott on wanting to be a dolphin trainer. But, Jesus Christ, dolphins man. Nothing else in this world even comes close to them. And then there’s THIS dolphin, the Michael Jordan of the sea. The Brad Pitt of the ocean. I wish I could be this free. I want to ride waves with this dolphin, drink tequila with this dolphin, and let it judge all my faults with that perfect, smug smile.
Fun fact: dolphins are the only animals besides humans that have fornicate purely for pleasure. That’s right, while we’re stressing over taxes, Wi‑Fi, and existential dread, dolphins are smashing under the waves.FUN FACT!
And I gotta toss in one last dolphin snippet. The show “Flipper” one of the most iconic theme songs of all time…
