đť•‹here was this boy at a street corner selling fish, screaming, "Dam fish! Fresh and low-priced! Get yourself some dam fish!"
A preacher walked up and asked him why he was calling them dam fish.
The kid said, "I caught them at the town dam, so they're dam fish."
The preacher bought a few, took them home and told his wife they were having dam fish for dinner.
His wife looked at him in bewilderment, and said, "But preachers aren't supposed to talk like that."
The preacher explained why they were dam fish, and she agreed to cook them.
When dinner was ready and everyone was sitting down, the preacher asked his son to pass him the dam fish. His son replied, "That's the spirit dad. Pass the fucking potatoes!"
Notice the "at a street corner." If you remember, we use "at" with one-dimensions, points, both for the hour (at noon, at ten o'clock) and for the place (at the corner, at the top of the page). We also say "at home" because we consider your home a point. We don't know if you're in the kitchen, in the swimming pool, in the toilet (all three dimensions, volumes), so your home becomes a point. Try this quiz, then watch this short video.
