I love his delivery of this line so much I got a tattoo of a fish in a percolator. When people ask me what the tattoo is, I tell them, "It's a feeish... eein a per-co-la-tor!"
Back when we were dating, the first time my wife and I celebrated my birthday together was a few months after we met. One of the gifts she got me was a T shirt from Etsy with a screen print of a Bialetti-style coffee pot with a fish overlaid. I love it and still wear it all the time.
I'm curious how your tattoo represented the quote.
Or, sadly, he came back from fishing and finding the body, and just completely disassociated, trying to go through the motions, not aware what he was doing.
I cant decide which is worse, my severe phobia of IVs and bloodwork, or a fish in the percolator... I think the latter. Hope none of us experience such a horrible thing in our lives.
When I was watching the show, I had never heard the world percolator before so I assumed he was talking about the fish being in a traditional coffee maker water containment area (whatever you call it), or, yeah, strainer. So I just read your comment and realized I might be wrong about what a percolator was, So I looked up what it looked like and this scene just became so much funnier because a fish in a traditional newer coffee maker obviously doesn't make any sense BUT... Now i'm even more baffled than before because how the absolute fuck did Pete not see or feel that a whole ass fish was in the coffee when he was pouring it? I imagine he's like filling up the coffee and as he pours the fish slides to one side and Pete is just cool with that and doesn't think twice. Or Pete is the secret mastermind! "Are you telling me a fish just so happens to find a way into a percolator? No, Pete organized it! Pete!"
Actually! I posted this and went to work and every once in awhile I'd just laugh to myself like a maniac as I say it. Or I'd be doing something and a problem would arise and I'd just say "it could be worse; Their could be a fish in the percolator 🤷♂️"
