- Long ago three men went for dinner into a certain house.
They got a red herring for their dinner and one of the men got his fork as quickly as possible and no sooner, did the other two do likewise. Then the first man said that he should pick out the herring's eyes before he would see the three men going to eat him.
Another day the same man was asked why he was not eating the fish and he said he could not until the tide went out.
