Good Ship Guppy

This is a story that a very bored girl working at an Okoboji Marina made up one cold January day to amuse me.

Cap'n Crunch had a ship. It was called the Good Ship Guppy. I hear that Cap'n Crunch and the Gordon's fisherman used to be friends and lovers until they got into fist-fights over who had the nicest ship. Eventually, a war began between the crews of each ship. Little, frozen, battered pieces of fish were used as ammunition against hard pieces of crunch. The frozen pieces of fish hurt a lot more upon contact than the little crunches so, eventually, Cap'n Crunch invented the Crunch Berries. The Crunch Berries were a brutal force to be reckoned with. It turns out that the Gordon's fisherman is OCD and extremely particular about his ship. Cap'n Crunch knew this. So he shot Crunch Berries out of his cannon over to the Gordon fisherman's ship where they permanently stained every floorboard with reddish purple fake berry juice. The Gordon's fisherman recoiled in horror and ordered his crew to withdrawal. That was it. The end of the war. So, they don't talk to each other anymore...the Gordon's fisherman and Captain Crunch, that is. They are so over. It's really too bad. But, we have the war to thank for Crunch Berries in our cereal today.
