When you bring an eel into a tattoo parlor
A pile of un-used for years reels sitting in a corner(just in case)
Back-up reels crammed in every corner of your truck.

Nice thread, I am very sick,but apparently not alone: probably come up with a few more..

I had a blue 77 chevy van that I used that stunk so bad from old squid my wife and everyone else refused to ride in it until I replaced the plywood on the floor of the van. Even Ray Metcalf walked by it once on the dock going to his car and commented on the strong odor. He chuckled about it as he was walking away.
