Sardines and mermaids

Conversations:

Greg:    I really enjoyed the eel last night.
JoAnn: Um, it was okay.  Too fishy and tasted like sardines.
Greg:    Have you ever had a sardine?
JoAnn: No.
Greg: So, how do you know it tasted like a sardine?
JoAnn:  Because I have smelled them.

Heido (our tour guide in Hiroshima)
Heido:  (showing us a picture of three women protectors) They say that the floating torii is protected by these three women.
JoAnn:   Are they out in the water?
Heido: Yes, to protect the torii.
JoAnn:  Why don't they call them mermaids?
Heido (looking confused).  Greg trying not to bust up laughing.
