Clean-Shaven Streeter

By David Topping

streeter.gifOverheard by Sarah H. on Queen West around Dovercourt.
Guy 1: I saw the weirdest thing the other day. A guy smoking and shaving fish.
Guy 2: Shaving fish?
Guy 1: Shaving fish.
Guy 2: With a knife?
Guy 1: With a knife.
Guy 2: Like, taking the scales off?
Guy 1: Yeah. And he was smoking a cigarette while he was doing it.
If you hear something that you want to share, send it to streeter@torontoist.com with the details (who/what/when/where), and we might feature it on the site. Happy listening!

    I see guys like that at Chinese supermarkets all the time.

    Yeah, I don’t get what’s so funny here. Fish gotta be descaled… People smoke when they do all kinds of things, including shaving. I’m curious what I’m supposed to be thinking is odd here… The conversation itself or the content of it?

    The use of the word “shaving” perhaps.

    I love overheardinnewyork; overheardintheoffice.com is great too. But they’re not nearly Toronto-y enough. Thus, Streeter.

    I can’t believe nobody’ mentioned John Lennon’s Shaved Fish. Wait, maybe I can.
