I conducted post graduate research into largely non-commercial nonsense such as race hate, political assassination and genocide. I spent seven years researching into matters that would not be conducive to my finding employment. I was a hair breadth from my final PhD [Doctorate] examination when I chucked the whole kabang in and went fishing.

I had finished my research. I knew what I wanted to know. I simply did not want to undergo the academic process of having my knowledge recognised.

I understand Marsian's position. He would, however, make a good detective.

'Seems fishy to me, sergeant!'

'Aah Inspector Marsian... you do have a nose for fishing things out, don't you?'
