Fish-isms - Greg Germann starred as Richard Fish, the money-hungry senior partner for the Boston law firm of Cash/Fish Associates on the quirky legal drama ALLY MCBEAL/FOX/1997-2002. Richard's stated philosophy on the law was: "Let me tell you something, I didn't become a lawyer because I like the law, the law sucks. It's boring, but it can also be used as a weapon. You want to bankrupt somebody? Cost him everything he's worked for? Make his wife leave him, even make his kids cry...yeah, we can do that." During his day-to-day conversation Richard drops cute little words of wisdom which he likes to call Fish-isms. The following is a list of some of his thoughts:

• Make enough money, and everything else will follow. Quote me. That's a Fish-ism.

• It's not about winning, it's about winning ugly that matters.

• After women marry and have kids, they don't want any part of a man's penis. The bigger it is, the more of him she doesn't want, that's all. Fish-ism.

• If you don't kiss a girl on the first date, you are a gentlemen. If you don't kiss her by the second, you are gay.

• Lend me your shoe, Georgia. If I wanted to sell this, better to have you model this or me? Everything is about presentation, same for restaurants as for shoes. What's inside doesn't count, its how they look. Fish-ism.

• The outside world just doesn't get the joke. Fish-ism.  (answer to John's question "Are we a joke to the outside world?")
